From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Genealogy (from Greek: γενεά, genea, "generation"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history. Genealogists use oral traditions, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as narratives. The pursuit of family history tends to be shaped by several motivations, 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, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling. Some scholars differentiate between genealogy and family history, limiting genealogy to an account of kinship, while using "family history" to denote the provision of additional details about lives and historical context.

Here are a couple more quotes: "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness." -- Alex Haley, Roots "Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future." -- Gail Lumet Buckley You live as long as you are remembered. -- Russian proverb I like these though: The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope.

Q. I understand that many of Ireland's genealogy records were destroyed in WWI -- I'd like to find out if there is any way to trace records of people entering and exiting the country in the early 1800's. Asked by Jim G - Thu Mar 30 20:04:03 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I agree that the LDS www.familysearch.org site is one of the best for finding Irish records. Once you have used their online catalogue to identify the records you are interested in, you can order them at a family history centre near you (see the "Find a Family History Center" link on its front page). Only 40% of Ireland's records were destroyed in the uprising, so many still remain, although some of these can only be accessed by a visit to Ireland. Try the following websites for more information.
