Two cousins from Chicago recently made the cross-country journey to a Northern California community to see if they could find answers about their family history.
MARYSVILLE, Yuba County – 'We are finding out a lot of things we didn't know about,' said Peggy Ishikawa, 'We are trying to piece together bits and piece of what we know.'Peggy and Candice Nagakura made the decision to travel more than 2,000 miles after watching a story that aired on KPIX last year.
But their visit still provided new details for David Read and Sue Cenjr-Moyers, the resident historians and keeper of the photos, including learning about their grandfather.'His name was Kazumo Hiyashi, born in Japan and settled here in Marysville,' said Nagakura. 'He was a businessman who owned a little market in town.''I'm looking at a family's private history that needs to be shared, because these are real people, and this is what happened to them.
