This is called 제적등본(Jaejeok deungbon) or 제적등초본(Jaejeok deung chobon) used in Japanese colonial era all the way up to 1970s~1980s in Korea. Older Koreans might call this 호적(Hojeok).( which is technically incorrect) 제적등본 might directly be translated to English as 'deleted family census register'.

(I erased some sensitive parts due to privacy)

To understand 제적등본, you first need to understand 호적(등본)(Hojeok (deungbon)). 호적 was the way of registering family members before 2009. Including late Deahan empire and Japanese colonial era. If you are firstborn son, you become a 호주(Hoju, family head) after your father's death. Than your father's 호적등본 will be 제적등본.

If you are not a firstborn son, and you marry, you will be removed from the 호적등본 and A. New 호적등본 will be created (If you are male) or B. You will be entered to your new family's 호적등본 (If you are female). And you will be transferred to 제적등본. This is called 제적.

Or, if you die, you will be removed, and also be transferred to 제적등본.

But due to the rule that only male can succeed 호주 status, this 호적등본/제적등본 law was abolished in 2008. And 가족관계등록부(Family relationship registration) was created. 가족관계등록부 doesn't have 호주.

(I was really young when 호주등본 was still were thing, so there might be some inaccuracies)

Anyway, recently I got interested in my family history, so I issued a copy of this 'ancient' document from the town office. Then I had to translate this to Modern Korean. (I'll explain why later). Later I searched about this system in English, and the results were too little to none. So I uploaded this.

Anyone interested in both History and NE Asian Linguistics will find stuff like this interesting.

If you know Korean, you will immediately find a few things right away:

1. Almost everything is written in Chinese Character.
2. There are few Japanese Kana, and it is all Katakana.
3. You can find Korean, like two or three affixes. See circled part in pic 2, "...에因하야" (~에 인하야). This is the only Hangeul used in above sample. This is why I had to 'translate' this document.
4. As you go later and later to parts written post WWII, more Korean Hangeul appears. (Not present in photos attached here)

If you know how to read pre-1945 Japanese or Kanji/Hanja, you will find even more interesting stuffs:
5. All Chinese numbers are business numbers, with mixed Korean/Japanese standards.
6. The person who wrote this is so bad, sometimes it is hard to understand, or even impossible.
7. Both Shinjitai and Korean Hanja are being used.
8. There are some unknown forms of Chinese characters being used like 開國 being written strangely in the first pic.
9. All years are being written in era name (Yeonho), both Korean and Japanese version.
10. There is a trace of Sōshi-kaimei(창씨개명) in the 名姓 section and 由事 section.
11. If you read 由事, You will also find after 창씨개명, wives changed family name after their husband post 창씨개명.
12. A job of the hoju is written next to family origin.
13. Every Japanese sentence is written in historical kana orthography.

If you have an ancestor that lived before 1945 in Korea as a Korean, you can get a copy of document in this format. Though if you don't have a Korean nationality, this process can be complicated.

I hope you folks find this interesting as a part of Korean history!!

IDK if someone in here buys bread or stuff in Sungshimdang (성심당) website, but its website redirects to a phishing site with allegedly telling that they are NAVER. Do not enter your personal information.

Does anyone know if Grinder is banned or illegal in South Korea? Will I get in trouble if I use it if I travel there?

Is it because the rulin LDP always have the monopoly of power in Japan that things are unchanged? Because the smaller opposition parties have said they want to amend all the cruelty Japan did to Korea and other asian nations durin WWII.

Can every subway station in Seoul be used as a bomb shelter? Are they all converted to be used as that?

Is there a list where I can find which subway stations act as bomb shelters?

I live 2 hours south of Seoul and the people here are kind, I feel safe, and love the environment, if I could live here longer I would. I also want to note that I am a black foreigner, I heard people would stare but it’s honestly not that noticeable to me. I’ve also been made aware that I’m not a beauty standard here so I never really thought I’d be approached either. Usually the only people that say I’m pretty are older men and women.

Last night on my walk, (I have to walk through a little city to get home) a guy had to catch up to me to get my attention, I also had headphones on so I don’t know how long he was trying for. He only spoke Korean and I only speak English (my Korean is in practice). The only thing I understood is he was asking for my Instagram. I x’d out my hand and just told him I didn’t have one. He seemed nice but I was caught off guard and also didn’t know him so was a bit uncomfortable giving him any information. How do guys here normally go about getting to know a girl? Is this usually the norm or they’ve known them for a while and then ask? There are a lot of cultural differences here then where I am from and I’m still learning what is and isn’t normal.

Are there any popular YouTube channels in South Korea/on Korean side of YouTube?

They like to work 69 hours for week.
