These are all the names of the Sarukura family that I found on a Family Register from June 1956. The paper is old and some parts were hard to read, so some of the spellings may be off.

This is the only photo I have of all of the family together, probably taken in the 1950’s before my grandmother decided to move to the United States.

From top left to right, my grandfather, my grandmother Akiko Sarukura, her brothers Tadao Sarukura and Yoshio Sarukura. Seated is my great grandmother Aya Sarukura.

About Sarukura

Sarukura is a blog about my Japanese heritage.

After my grandmother, Akiko Sarukura, married my grandfather and moved to the United States, she lost contact with her family in Japan. The only things I know about them I have learned from stories here and there, old documents, and very few photos.

On this site, I will share everything I know about my grandmother’s family in hopes that one day, someone who knows more about the Sarukura family or can help me learn more about them will contact me.

Find out more about the Sarukura family via the Sarukura Family Tree, and see the only photo of the Sarukura family I have.
