Quest for crest

Hi William,

There are very few online resources that could be of help. First of all, I was unable to find any info on Saga Village in Yamaguchi. Either that village is tiny, or it has meanwhile been incorporated into another community or town.

Forgive me the question, but do you speak Japanese? If so, we could come up with a few addresses of institutions to contact (Yamaguchi Pref. authorities or genealogical societies). We'll keep you posted as we find more info.

On a side note: many Japanese websites deal with Japanese family crests, which's pretty interesting...

William,

there's another site you should check out:

Japan Genealogy Forum

Family Crests


It's a start, anyway. Ry
