History of the Fukuzawa Family

Chohei Fukuzawa was a Farm labourer. He was married to Kishi Fukuzawa who remained in Japan with their child Hanoko Fukuzawa. It is unknown if he intended to remain in Canada and bring his family back over, or if he wished to return to Japan. Regardless, he was exiled back to Japan on October 2^nd 1946. We lose track of him once he returned to Japan.

Chohei and Kishi were listed on the 1931 Canadian Census as living in Pitt Meadows. Chohei entered Canada in 1904, and Kishi entered in 1926. It is unknown when or why she left Pitt Meadows and was in Japan by 1942.
