2. “Aoki Family story” by Kazuko Hamasaki
"Aoki Family Story" written by Kazuko Hamasaki is a genealogy of the family tree. Kazuko, who was born in the Aoki family in Izaki Oshima has been warming up since Kuka High School for many years. It is a collection of roots that she wrote down while collecting other historical materials with reference to old documents. However, since she is not a history expert, it is unavoidable that there are some discrepancies.
The Aoki family tree seems to have been rewritten many times due to worm-eaten, etc., and the final version is in the early Meiji era. Since it ends with "Tononyu village farmer (Aoki) Saitaro", this person is probably the last copy of the genealogy. The genealogy is added from generation to generation, and if requested by the branch family, a copy of the branch family is handed over, and it will be inherited as the genealogy of the branch family. Family tree document lost due to war, fire, moat, etc. will continue to be written from the range that can be understood, so there will be a discrepancy between correctness and incorrectness. The genealogy is not recognized as a primary source because of the repeated work. However, the importance of genealogy as a reference remains, as the primary sources remain almost fragmentary. Since there are many false genealogy, it is necessary to confirm the degree of correctness by examining it with a few primary historical materials
Now, Izaki’ “Aoki Genealogy” starts as follws.

It covers people from the Mori clan at the end of the ’Sengoku’(War) period to the present day. It is believed that reason of that "Moto" is used as common letter for the Aoki family is given from one letter of Mori Terumoto's name. This house is the third son of the Aoki family in the early Edo period, but for some reason it is said to succeed the Aoki head family of Agenosho. The Mori clan who lost the battle of Sekigahara war, was forced into the two countries of “Bocho” from the ten countries. The Aoki family also abandoned the samurai and returned to farming due to the so-called "Mori lord’s blind decision"
The eldest son succeeded the house whose family business is doctor. The second son went to the Ogata family for adoption, but he was also sent back to farming.The third son will be the Aoki family, who is the returning farmer of Izaki, who holds the "Aoki family tree".
