Introduction to Genealogy
Overview of what genealogy is and why it matters
Genealogy is the study of family history and lineage, tracing the stories, connections, and origins of past generations. By exploring historical records, DNA, and personal narratives, genealogy helps individuals understand their roots, preserve their heritage, and build a stronger sense of identity. Whether you're uncovering ancestors’ journeys, connecting with distant relatives, or preserving family traditions, genealogy offers a meaningful way to explore the past and enrich the present.
