Genealogy is the study and tracing of family pedigrees, which involves collecting the names of relatives, both living and deceased, and establishing the relationships
between them by collecting documentary and circumstantial evidence from various sources to build a family tree. A family tree is a chart used in genealogy to show the
family connections between individuals, consisting of the individuals' names, dates of birth, death, and marriage, and with other availale information such as places and
occupations. People enjoy knowing where they came from and what kind of people their ancestors were. This requires a great deal of research including, visiting libraries, studying old newspapers, visiting gravesites, combing through family letters and papers, and much more. A good genealogist must be equal parts bloodhound and detective and possess a great deal of tenacity. The advent of the internet has been a tremendous boon to genealogists. Enormous genealogy databases have been created online to help genealogists find information that they once had to travel the world to find on their own. Many helpful amateur and professional genealogy websites are available to help people find those missing pieces of data to complete their family tree. Our Genealogy department provides online resources which offer a wide variety of genealogy information including birth and death certificates, marriage certificates, databases of relationships searchable by name, location, and other data points, DNA testing services, and much more.
