Family genealogy about my relatives the Yuzaya Family

My family roots on my mother's mother's side are the Yuzaya Family from Japan. I was told some of her family is from Russia.

I was a former volunteer from the Contra Costa County Historical Society. http://cocohistory.com/ While there I learned from the other very experienced volunteers where to research my family genealogy. An excellent resource is https://familysearch.org/

From family search, I learned that on my father's mother's side I have relatives all the way back to the early 1600's from England.

I'm looking for my family genealogy on my mother's side, the Maeda Family from Tokyo, Japan. My mother's mother's name is Taeko Yuzaya. Her father's name is Mutsuo Yuzaya. Her brother's and sister's names are Ken, Yoko Tomatsu, Tsukiko Maedo, and Yoshiko Hatta. Taeko's mother is Sei Hashizume (my great grandmother) and her brother's and sister's are Ryohei and Kaku. If anyone has information on where I can research my Japanese family history or find information about my family please message me on facebook.com/perri.mink

Photo: Fifth Station Mt. Fuji, Japan on my travels with my mother in 1988. My notes from my photo album say, "Do you want to come back to the U.S. with me horse." (I might have wanted to free him.)
