Passing Family Tree Culture to the Next Generation.

Family Tree Creation Agency Center Co., Ltd. (Sapporo City, Hokkaido; Representative Director and Administrative Scrivener Munetaka Watanabe) has begun accepting media interviews to popularize family tree culture and broadly communicate the current situation where records are being lost.

Our company has conducted over 5,000 family tree investigations in total so far, and we currently receive over 300 consultations per month.
Centered on family register research, we provide services that trace ancestral records and preserve family history in a tangible form.

While many people think that "family registers are kept forever," there is actually a set retention period, and old family registers are sequentially disposed of.

Therefore, the reality is that if nothing is done, ancestral records will gradually be lost.

In the field of investigation, it is not uncommon to find cases where even if one can trace back to family registers from the early Meiji period, earlier records have already been lost, or lineages have been broken due to the effects of war, disasters, or institutional changes.
Furthermore, due to factors such as Karafuto (Sakhalin) family registers, records may sometimes be cut off at generations that could normally be traced.

Given this background, the awareness that "family trees can only be created now" is spreading, and in recent years, interest in family tree research has been growing as part of end-of-life planning and the search for one's roots.

A family tree is not merely a record; it reflects the history of that family and the flow of the times.
There is great significance in passing it on to the next generation, including the reasons and background behind broken records.

Our company hopes to broadly disseminate information about the realities and institutional background we have seen in the field of family tree research through television, newspapers, web media, and other channels.

■ Representative's Comment

Family Tree Creation Agency Center Co., Ltd.
Representative Director and Administrative Scrivener Munetaka Watanabe

While investigating family trees, I frequently encounter situations where "we might have found out if we had been just a few years earlier."

Family registers have retention periods, and records are gradually lost.
This means that if nothing is done, ancestral records will disappear.

On the other hand, in the process of creating a family tree, not only the records but also the history and background of the family, as well as the flow of the times, become visible.
Even if the records are cut off along the way, the very fact of "why they were cut off" becomes an important story for that family.

A family tree is something used to investigate the past, but at the same time, it is something to leave for the future.

In order to pass this culture down to the next generation, we hope that more people will learn about what we have seen in the field of our investigations.
