Promote, preserve, and perpetuate our Okinawan family heritage through education, research, and networking.
Inspired by a genealogy workshop in 1993 conducted by Dr. Bernice Hirai and the Hawaii Hiroshima Heritage Study Group, the Okinawan Genealogical Society of Hawaii was established in 1994 by a group of 2nd and 3rd generation Okinawans with a desire to preserve and perpetuate their cultural heritage for future generations. Currently with more than 100 members, we provide assistance in genealogical research, non-commercial translation service and preparation of family registration requests (koseki).
