Link: Fujiwara male line, 500s CE -> 2000s
Genealogics update, a few hours ago, produced also a Fujiwara genealogy to display. Its male line, since lord Omuraji Tokiwa (magnate of the clan of the deity Ame-no-Koyane), who received the byname Nakatomi, and flourished sometime in 500s (he appears to have been a contemporary and adviser of great king Amehara Oshiharaki Hironiwa, of Great Yamato, 29th monarch, who legendarily allowed Buddhism to get introduced to Japan), is now rudimentarily displayed at:
http://genealogics.org/descend.php?personID=I00523682&tree=LEO&displayoption=male&generations=6
(additions and amendments, of course, would likely be forthcoming in future updates)
[Much of the material have been submissions from me. Some typos and such inaccuracies yet remain - and will be amended.]
The Fujiwara descent seems to have already some persons in its 50th generation, counted from the ancient lord Omuraji 'Nakatomi'.
The family, in truth, expanded into several branches already a millennium ago. One of main branches produced the Five Regent Families. The lineage, rudimentary Fujiwara genealogy, now in display, focuses on that male-line branch of Regents which survives up to the 20th century.
Other important branches, branched already centuries and almost millennium ago, will likely be added to the database, in some future updates.
These produced imperial consorts, regularly mothers of next monarchs, to the imperial family, by tradition, throughout the past millennium and so.
The last such empress, to the date, has been Sadako kogo, grandmother of emperor Akihito.
