Issei personal documents, 1873-2009
Scope and Contents
Subseries 2.2 contains a small assortment of Japanese and English documents by or about Masuo Yasui, Shidzuyo (Miyake) Yasui, and Renichi Fujimoto. It includes personal identification, immigration, marriage and citizenship certificates, well as a handful of contemporary War Relocation Authority and Japanese American Citizens League documents pertaining to forced removal, incarceration camps, and resettlement. Some Koseki Tohon, family registries from the Japanese government, are included, but only one appears to pertain somewhat to the Yasui family.
