DNA Testing
One of the keys to determining whether this Nakamura family once went by the family name Tanaka is through DNA testing of those descendants of both Nakamuras and Tanakas. Moreover, through DNA testing, it may be possible to establish whether this family belonged to the Taira (Heike) clan of the famed battle over 800 years ago.
Coming soon - more information will be posted here as progress is made to recruit DNA testers.
So please check back again. -or- contact me if you may be interested in participating in either the Tanaka or Namaura surname projects.
