Hello-

I just received this letter back from Asaminami-ku Ward Office and I was wondering if anybody could translate it for me? I am an amateur genealogist and I am trying to obtain my great-great-great grandfather's koseki/joseki. I got this letter back after I wrote to them asking if they still had his koseki avaliable.



Thank you very much! -Eric

Here's my attempt at a translation. Man it's hard to read handwritten Japanese:

This note is in response to your inquiry of the mother of Okita Haya-sama.
On the joseki under 沖田元平 (it's hard to know how the first name is pronounced, could be Gempei), there is no entry for Haya-sama's parents, but if it becomes apparent that they are referenced in another family's register, please request those records.

In the event that you make such a request, please assemble the following items and send them in:

1. Written Application
2. A copy of ID papers for the application (?? not sure about this, maybe a copy of the ID of the person filling out the application)
3. A self-addressed, stamped envelope
4. A fee of 750 yen

Alas, charges are often applied for such requests, thank you very much for your cooperation. (I was a bit liberal with this sentence; it's kind of just a Japanese way of wrapping up correspondence)

If anyone spots an error, please correct me.
