However, the 25,000 won registration fee is required for each 7-generation group of ancestors. With respect to the registration fee, the F and M together form one group, and the GMF and GMM form another group. 2) To liberate any Second or Third Generation who has passed away, whether blessed or unblessed, please prepare the liberation donation in accordance with the collateral liberation standard. 3) If your grandmother, grandfather, or parent, who is included in generations 1~7 passes away after the ancestor liberation for generations 1-7, they are a “Person who passes away after liberation.” You must register and offer a donation of gratitude if you are a direct descendant, or liberate them as collateral, with a full donation, otherwise. 4) The donation for the collateral liberation varies with the nationality of the spirit to be liberated. Please refer to the attachment file for the group standard. 5) There is no need to register the collaterals for an Ancestor Blessing Ceremony if they were married.
