2017 Virtual Genealogy Fair Beyond the War Relocation Administration

Session 6: Beyond the War Relocation Administration: Finding Japanese Relocatees in Other Records with Director, Gwen Granados, National Archives at Riverside, CA

Many genealogists and scholars researching individuals removed from the West Coast under Executive Order 9066 are familiar with the records of the War Relocation Authority (WRA), the Federal agency charged with relocating and housing those individuals. Outside of these often researched materials are records created by a number of other agencies, including the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the U.S. military and the Federal courts – where many Japanese and Japanese Americans confronted the Federal Government over issues extending from the relocation.
