Research Your Genealogy

Genealogy has been in practice for thousands of years. Ancestry was initially passed along by word-of-mouth until people learned how to write. The people of ancient Greece and Rome often professed divine ancestry while others frequently said their ascendants were members of the animal kingdom.

Genealogy prospered from A.D. 476 to 1453 due to the evolution of the social system that emerged in Europe during the 8th century, which made social standing and inheritance subject to lineage. This practice is still evident today in countries such as England.

In some cases, genealogy is also used to trace the lineage of individuals seeking to gain membership into certain organizations and religious fellowships.
