Genealogy

Specialist services including family trees, births, deaths and marriages

Genealogy is the study of family history and lineage. It involves tracing the descent of an individual or family through the generations, using a variety of records and sources to build a family tree.

A family tree is a graphical representation of a family’s genealogy, showing the relationships between individuals and their ancestors. It is usually arranged in a branching format, with each branch representing a different generation.

Building a family tree involves a combination of research, documentation, and organization. The first step is to gather information about your family, such as names, birthdates, and locations. This can be done by talking to relatives, examining family records, or searching online databases.

Once you have gathered the basic information, you can begin to organize it into a family tree. This involves creating a chart or diagram that shows the relationships between different family members. Family trees can be created using paper and pencil, or with specialized software that helps to automate the process.

As you build your family tree, you may encounter gaps in your knowledge or inconsistencies in your records. This is where genealogical research comes in. Genealogical research involves using a variety of sources to fill in the gaps in your family tree, such as census records, birth certificates, and marriage records.

In addition to building a family tree for personal interest, genealogy has a number of practical applications. For example, genealogical research can be used to trace medical histories or to establish legal inheritance rights. It can also be used to provide a sense of identity and belonging for individuals who may have lost touch with their family roots.

In recent years, genealogy has become increasingly popular as a hobby and pastime. There are a number of online communities and resources dedicated to genealogical research, including ancestry websites, online databases, and genealogical societies.
