YAMAOKA

All families are as branches of a tree. We grow in different directions, but our roots remain the same.  

Obaachan Fukuyo Fujikawa was a picture bride who married Grandpa Jack Hirokichi Yamaoka. She WALKED to Yokohama to board a ship to sail to Enumclaw, Washington, USA, and had Daddy Don Hiroshi, Uncle Bob Minoru, a daughter who died, and Auntie Yurichan Yuriko. At the WWII internment camp, Daddy met Mommy and this is their wedding photo.
