Research Abstract	WE ASKED THE INFORMANTS TO TALK TO US ABOUT THEIR ANCESTRY.THUS WE GOT IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THEIR FAMILY TREE.WHO WENT TO CANADA OUT OF YOUR LINEAGE FIRST ? AND WHEN AND HOW DID THEY GO THERE ? WHAT DID THEY DO ? THAT WAS OUR MAIN QUESTIONS. LET US TAKE ONE CASE.Y.T.IS FROM RESPECTABLE FAMILY.SHE WAS BORN IN STEVESTON NEAR VANCOUVER IN 1923. HER FATHER,AFTER GRADUATING FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL IN MIO,WENT TO CANAD.IN A FEW YEAR WITH HARD WORK,HE BECAME A SHIP OWNER.SO,HE WENT BACK TO JAPAN TO GET MARRY.AFTER THAT HER PARENT WENT TO STEVESTON AGAIN.IN 1932 WHEN HER YOUNGER SISTER GOT SICK,HER ALL THE FAMILY MENBERS WENT BACK TO JAPAN TO MAKE HER SEE THE DOCTOR.AFTER THAT Y.T.HAD NO CHANCE TO VISIT HER NATIVE TOWN,WHLE HER FAMILY MEMMBERS WENT BACK TO CANADA.SHE LIVED WITH HER FATHER'S RELATIVES IN MIO.SHE HAD A HARD TIME IN THOSE DAYS.THIS IS A REMINISCENT TALK.ACCORDING TO HER THIS WAS COMMON IN MIO. ANOTHER THING TO STRESS IS THAT THERE WAS GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WAKAYAMA KENJINKAI (PREFECTURAL ASSOCIATION) IN VANCOUVER AND COMMITTEE IN MIO WHICH WAS FOUNDED TO PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL IZATION IN MIO.
