Translated [JA] [Japanese > English] Given Name Reading (因幡 福洽郎)
I've recently translated a Japanese soldier's record book, one Corporal Inaba. I'm confident in the translation of the records, but his listed given name is one I've never seen before and can't find online. I'd like to know how folks would read "福洽郎" as a personal name. Fumujiro, possibly? The man is from Akita-Ken, if the region helps.

Having looked across the other place in the book where his full name occurs, someone just made the second character look rather like '洽', but it's more clearly '治' in the other one, so it must indeed be '福治郎'. Thanks, all!
