If he was married in Japan, he would of had to had permission from the military command. He could be recorded on his Japanese wife's koseki record, but you would need to know her name, birth date and what her address was in Japan. Wish there was an easier way. Any old letters, journals might give you a clue. Nicole,

(1948-1952) I found pictures of him with a Japanese woman -- similar to wedding ceremony pics. The only difference is that he is not wearing a white belt. What other ceremonies could this picture been taken for if not a wedding? He left Japan after the war and I never found out any additional information. He spoke once about a son. How could I find out if he was married in Japan and/or if he had a son? I have all his military information, but know nothing about the woman in the picture. Help please if you can!!! Thanks!

Read my other posts about how to obtain a koseki to get a better description. Good luck!

She's 100% Japanese, born and raised in Oita, Japan and later came to the United States with my grandfather, who was in the Army at the time. He was African American. I've known her my entire life but never been able to locate her family, meet or speak with them. I just know of them from having converations with my grandmother. I have her family registry. I know this can help, and if you could help me in any way possible I would greatly appreciate it. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. I’ve been trying to locate my grandmother’s family for years.

It would have saved joining a genealogy site to find out after various rewording and reconfiguring searches that they have actually no information whatsoever, and now I know why. Why wife's great grandfather was born in Japan in 1899 and came to England around 1916 and stayed until his death in 1987. We are intending to holiday in Japan this year and are researching his birth place so that we can visit. Thanks Mike I wish that I had seen this blog first.
