Unveiling Roots: A Guide to Genealogy
Unraveling the threads of our past is an adventure that many Baby Boomers reflect on as we get older. Genealogy is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. Our experts in this part of the site help you gain a comprehensive understanding of genealogy, including its importance and how you can begin your journey into uncovering your family’s past. Genealogy has evolved significantly from its origins in oral traditions and handwritten family records to the modern use of digital tools and extensive online databases.
Genealogy starts with creating a family tree, which you start with what you know, meaning seek out the people in your family that you grew up with to establish what is known as vital events, to include dates of birth, marriage and deaths. You can use genealogy software to build your tree adding details and stories. Online DNA testing companies like 23andMe, My Heritage and Ancestry can help you take your tree to the next step. Genealogy is important not only to help us understand our family origin and ethnicity, but it can help us discover the origins of a genetic disease, establish our identity within a community or even help solve crimes.
Whether you’re curious about your ethnic origins, tracking down long-lost relatives, or simply aiming to create a detailed family tree for future generations, understanding genealogy can open a world of discovery. Making connections with the past helps us create a Legacy for the future.
