Research Abstract	Peoples of Mindanao, Southern Philippins and Sangihe-Talaud Island, Northern Indonesia were well known seafaring peoples and have kept their genealogies and the related narratives. In these oral records they have often moved. It was estimated that near million people have moved last 50 years. The aim of this research is to arrange, translate, analyze and publish these oral records which was collected by the overseas research projects "Mobility of Frontier in Insular Southeast Asia" and "Cultural and Environmental Mobility of Network Society in Insular Southeast Asia" from 1994 to 1996. As a result, it become clear that Muslims moved and extended Islam to southern Mindanao. On the other hand, peoples is Sangihe-Talaud Islands have recorded and remembered that people came and went between Mindanao and their islands. From this research it is confirmed their mobility, how and when they moved, and how they memorize. A part of the results, which was already arranged and translated, is published in this year as a trial edition. In near future whole results of this research will be published after a further fieldresearch in the Philippines and Indonesia in 1997.
