Another Research Resource

A link to this blog popped up in Facebook today, and it looks like there is plenty of good information there.
Advantage Genealogy is written by Valerie Elkins, who runs a genealogy research service by the same name, which you can see at her business site here. If you want a kickstart for your Japanese genealogy and have some funds to spare, this might be a good place to go!

FamilySearch Wiki Articles and Forums

I had no idea that there is a feature called Research Wiki on FamilySearch.org. It looks like there is some good starter information there, and I am excited to read up a bit more and see what I can find there. Here's a link to the article on getting started with Japanese research:

There is also a research forum for Asian family history research where you can ask questions and see if anyone can help with your questions:

And, in keeping with the times, there is a Facebook page for Japanese research.
