Military Genealogy Records

Korean Family tree help?

How do I find info about my family who left Korea around the time of the Japanese invasion circa 1905-1910? They were somehow connected to the ruling Lee (Yi) family of Seoul. I understand that most aristocratic Korean families have extensive genealogies. Their names were Sang Ok Lee and Young Hee Lee. He was forced into service for the Japanese military–are there records available for something like that?
Thanks!
yep, that’s them, in the census. Thanks for the lookup!
The colorado one is not him.

I found this listing on www.familysearch.org. (does it sound right, as to dates, etc??)
