Introduction

Hi! My name is Steven Ashabraner. I hope you like my Japanese family research blog. This blog will be dedicated to the genealogical research and registry of Japanese ancestry. We will explore my research notes and define ways we can achieve reserching Japanese ancestry sucessfully. Follow along as I introduce research techniques on a week to week basis. I welcome other researchers in helping me further develop this subject.

Here is a section of my known Japanese ancestry:

• Fukumoto Ancestors:
  >>> Sakujiroh Fukumoto + Masa Suematsu
  >>>> Isaburo Fukumoto + Kokiku ________
  
  
• Suematsu Ancestors:
  >>> Masa Suematsu + Sakujiroh Fukumoto
  >>>> Eishou Suematsu + Nami Yuge/Kako
  Interestingly, Nami along with an older brother, Matsuzou used their mother's family name Yuge.

  >>>> Kikumatsu Suematsu + Nami Kako
  >>>>> Kiyomatsu Suematsu + _____________
