Please note that due to my current work, I am unable to take on any new long-term research projects. I can refer you to another researcher in the Milwaukee area, if needed. At this time, depending on my schedule, I can do some short-term research (vital records & newspaper look-ups, etc) in Waukesha and western Racine counties, including Waterford, Burlington and vicinity.

If you are looking for assistance in Japanese genealogy research or in locating a relative in Japan, I am unfortunately unable to help you because I do not read or speak Japanese and do not have access to Japanese records. What information I have on doing Japanese-American genealogy research can be found here. I only do volunteer look-ups in two sources: a 1928 census of Japanese in Oregon and the name index to Kazuo Ito's book "Issei: A History of Japanese Immigrants in North America," which focuses primarily on the Pacific Northwest.

To reduce the amount of unwanted solicitations arriving in my mailbox, I have removed the e-mail links on my webpages and switched to showing my e-mail address as an image (inspired by Genforum):

Remember that your e-mail may arrive in my mail box surrounded by spam, so please review the following points:

• Use a detailed subject line, such as "Genealogy research at Milwaukee Public Library." E-mails with vague subjects like "Can you help me?" may unfortunately be overlooked among the many requests for assistance that I receive from the relatives of dead African leaders.
• Do not send attachments such as document or image files. After one of the computers in our household caught a virus that slipped past our anti-virus software, I now automatically delete oversized e-mails from strangers.
