I received the following message from raquvar: Hello Jim. I wonder if there are any relatives of my grandmother, Haru Teruya, in Hawaii. I remember my mother telling me stories about Haru’s relatives that had emigrated to Hawaii and were in the hotel business. Haru married Akira Kudaka and left to Brazil in 1934. She had eleven children, one of them was my mother Keiko Hissataka.

My response: Hi, raquvar. I’m publishing your message as a post in Liuchiuan in hopes that someone will recognize your grandmother’s name and respond in the reply section below.
