Descendants of former Marine Corps Base land owners sought

The Guam Museum is seeking more information about the families who lived around Magua’, the site of construction for Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, during World War II.

Census documents from 1940, identified by local historian Dave Lotz, show that at least 26 people lived in the area. Documents from the U.S. Navy’s land condemnations in 1950 provide a list of landowners, which include members of the Ada, Cruz, Manibusan, Iglesias, and Taitingfong families.
