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.

Where do you get the test done? How long till you get the results? Is it detrimental to your health to get tested? Is it safe? How much does it cost? With genealogy tests, do you find out exactly who's descendants you are, can you trace it back like all the way to before 10,000 BC? Sources will be helpful. Reliable, easy to understand, correct, and up to date sources. Asked by LouLou - Sat Mar 1 22:09:01 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. To tell your genealogy they usually will take cotton and swab your mouth to collect saliva. It will not reveal who your ancestors were, but more or less where your family originated from. It can cost quite a bit because it is not a routine thing that people do regularly versus going to the actual doctor for a check-up. It is not detrimental to your health, because it does not harm you in any way, even if you were to get it done with blood. It is definitely safe, because they can either swab your mouth with cotton or take blood samples. Answered by Mrs. Grotts - Sat Mar 1 22:20:33 2008 What Genealogy Software Would You Recommend?
