The work covers houses extinguished since the Keichō era. It complements the Kansei Chōshū Shokafu, which records houses that continued.
Notes for Researchers
Houses extinct before the Kansei compilation may be found here rather than in the Kansei Chōshū Shokafu. Compare each line with other genealogies, temple records and family documents.
