Puzz3D-sama,

My family history is quite funny. My Okinawan mom decided to marry an American serviceman in 1962. It was still controversial at the time, and there were reams upon reams of papers to fill out, mostly due to American security issues. See things do really change. Any way, the Nakandakari were so angry, that they changed their name to Nakamura right when she had completed all the paperwork. Nakamura is a real common name. She had to re-file everything. It was done to create delays in the marriage.

I'm over at my parents for Xmas. My mom is supposed to dig out the Nakandakari genealogy. It was prepared a few years ago. I'm curious to see the relationship with the Shimazu clan.

Thanks for the projectile update.

Peace,
Nakamura
