*from greek: γενεαλογία genealogia *
*from γενεά / genea / “generation” + λόγος / logos ‘knowledge’)*
.
(also known as family history)
.
*’genealogy’ is the study of ‘families’ + the tracing of their ‘lineages’ + ‘history’*
.
(‘genealogists’ use…)
‘oral interviews’
‘historical records’
‘genetic analysis’
(and many other records…)
.
(…to obtain ‘information’ about a ‘family’ and to demonstrate ‘kinship’ + ‘pedigrees’ of its members)
.
(the results are often displayed in ‘charts’ or written as ‘narratives’)
.
(the pursuit of ‘family history’ + ‘origins’ tends to be shaped by several motives, including …)
*the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger ‘historical picture’*
.
a ‘sense of responsibility’ to ‘preserve’ the ‘past’ for ‘future generations’*
.
*a sense of ‘self-satisfaction’ in accurate ‘storytelling’*
