Masukawa - Yamagata-Ken

Hello
I am looking for my relatives from Yamagata-Ken Japan. My grandmother was from there. Her name was Yae Miki Stevens. She was born in 1926. Married an American and moved to Fairfield California. I know she had lots of family still in Japan. Her maiden name was Masukawa. Can you please help?

Thank you
Shari Stevens

Welcome to the board, Shari

I'm guessing this is your grandmother?

Matsukawa is probably written 松川, and there are over 36,000 people in Japan with that surname, spread over several prefectures

Yamagata is not in the top 5 prefectures where that name is popular, so that may help narrow your search slightly. There are places in Yamagata with that name as well, such as the Matsukawa bridge in Yonezawa

One famous person with that surname is Matsukawa Rui, a politician from Osaka
