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.

I am with Shirley. Finding scandals and such is a common part of research. People might not like them, but they are facts and should not be hidden or altered. The biggest "risk" is that of inaccurate information.. and today, most people wrongly assume that they can just punch in their name and find their family tree. Genealogy isn't difficult.. but anyone doing it, has to understand the critical need for having proof/ original or reasonable documents to verify the work. Assume for a minute that John Smith is either the son of James Smith, or his brother Jeremiah Smith. Assume dad died, and son John lives with his uncle/wife after dad's death.

It has been around for ages too. www.rootsmagic.com Both do everything else you wanted.
