Looking for relatives.

Hi, I'm just looking for anyone who might be related to me. And maybe find out more about my ancestry.

Here's a little BG info:
My great-grandparents on my dads side moved to Hawaii from Japan around WW1. My grandparents lived in Hawaii for the rest of their lives,but my dad moved to Fullerton, California(which is where i grew up and where i live today).

I'm not really looking for anyone in particular, but I really want to find the Yamashiro's that are related to me, but never moved out of Japan.(And they supposedly do exist)


So please, if you might be related to me, give me an e-mail.

Hi John,

I am Yamashiro and my grandparents moved to Argentina after WWI, they were born in Okinawa. I am trying to trace a family tree, but I can't find anything.
Any tips,
Good luck with your search,
Mariana

My father, Yukio Maetoku, was born in Okinawa in 1936. He later moved to Argentina after WWII. He said to us that his grandparents were either Argentineans or lived in Argentina for a long time. His mom, Fusako Yamashiro, was born in Hawaii and later moved to Okinawa where she married Hideo Maetoku. They had 3 children and they both died during WWII. So... if we're talking about the same families, your greatgrandparents moved from Argentina to Hawaii and then back to Okinawa. But I don't have much more information to confirm all this. I believe that my father's grandparents were Koki and Uto Yamashiro. Do you know your great grandparents' names?
