Help!
We are looking for Ann's uncle, Min Shik Kim. Below are some pictures of him. We think these photographs were taken in the late 1950's.
Min Shik Kim is the oldest brother of Ann's mother, Young Ja Kim. He was born in Korea around 1922. He attended school in Japan and married there. His wife's name was Mary Yokoi. Her parents might have been named Eizo and Rui Yokoi. They may have lived at 507 Dearborn, Chicago, IL.
Min Shik and his wife moved to the United States after they were married. We have the following addresses for them:
1219 47th Ave, Apt. 5
Sunset Dist.
San Francisco, CA1308 67th Street
North Bergen, NJ
(He lived here for a short time in 1959)
We later learned that the Kim family was living in Walnut Creek, California, in 1993 as a letter was then received by a friend of the family; it included the return address listed below. This friend stated that Min Shik and Mary had one son (but didn't know about any other children). His name was James J. Kim. Min Shik changed his name to John M. Kim. We heard that Min Shik and Mary Kim may have moved to Japan after 1993.
John M. Kim
2659 Baldwin Lane, #D
Walnut Creek, CA 94596
None of the relatives in Korea has heard anything from Min Shik or his wife since 1960.
We appreciate ANY leads whatsoever. Ann is very anxious to contact her uncle before it's too late. Please send any information you have to:
