Took hours to find the house, because everyone in her neighborhood had the same last name. Some were even related but they never talked to each other. <br /><br />Last names apparently were used to indicate what area you were from, but not necessarily what bloodline. You have to do your family tree for that kind of info.<br /><br />Incidentally, my last name, Goto, is as common in Japan as Smith is here.LT Gotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424574993028588243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10521454.post-47568281320887905212012-06-05T21:08:05.131-07:002012-06-05T21:08:05.131-07:00Hey buddy, my Grandfather's last name was Toku...Hey buddy, my Grandfather's last name was Tokunaga.
