Genealogy is the study of family histories and ancestry, typically organized into charts called family trees that show how people are related across generations. It matters because it helps people understand their own family origins, connections, and heritage.

Genealogy () is the study of families, family history, and the tracing of their lineages. Genealogists use oral interviews, 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 field of family history is broader than genealogy, and covers not just lineage but also family and community history and biography.
