Need help locating a city hall in Obama for a Koseki

[bux987]

Hello,

I'm currently researching the genealogy of my Japanese ancestry and I'm trying to locate my family's koseki.

I read online that if you know the town where your ancestors are from then you can contact the town's city hall and order a koseki.

My great, great grandparents came from Onyu, Obama in the Fukui Prefecture . I'm not sure if Onyu is a town but Obama is coming up as a town when I google it. Since I can't read Japanese and search Japanese websites I was wondering if someone could help my find an email address for the Onyu or Obama town hall. I have other ancestors from Shiida-machi, aza Takatsuka, Fukuoka-ken.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! A koseki would give me great insight into my family's lineage. If anyone has an tips on obtaining a koseki that would be great as well!!

Thank you

Onyu/Onyū(遠敷) is a place name of Obama-shi(小浜市). Obama-machi(小浜町) merged with seven villages to form Obama-shi(小浜市) in 1951. You can see the e-mail address of Obama-shi at the end of their web site.

Shiida-machi(椎田町) merged with Chikujo/Chikujō-machi(築城町) to form Chikujo/Chikujō-machi(築上町) in 2006. You can see the e-mail address of Chikujo-machi at the end of their web site.

Hope this helps you to get information about your ancestors.

Thank you!!! For that information on the villages and also for the fast reply!

Anyone interested in translating an email that I will need to write to them to order a koseki?? Please private message me

OR

Anyone know of a reasonable translation service? I have a feeling it will be a back and forth thing.

How about to send an e-mail in English? I believe there must be people who can understand English in the city/town.
