I’ve known Linda Harms Okazaki since 2013, when I first attended her workshop on Finding Your Japanese Roots. Since then, we’ve partnered together on many occasions, including as founding members of NikkeiGen (www.facebook.com/nikkegen). Each workshop or webinar that she delivers is always so fresh and informative – and there are always new nuggets of info to take away. Thank you, Linda, for continuing to share your wealth of knowledge with all of us.
No Japanese-American in my tree but the information was so interesting and nicely presented. Plus I used to live in Santa Maria, California and it was nice to see there is a museum there. I have also heard some of the information before about the Japanese because of the San Diego Historical Society. Thank you!
Absolutely must watch again webinar, Full of great information to assist with Japanese family history in the US.
