The first step in genealogical research is to obtain family records of the client’s direct ancestors. The oldest family register that can be obtained today is the Meiji-19-style (1890) family register. In post-war family records, only two generations (husband and wife and children) can be in the same family record, but pre-war family records include many people, including siblings’ children and grandchildren, with the “family” as a unit. Therefore, a pre-war family record can reveal many ancestors just by researching the family records of direct ancestors.
