what is the meaning of geneology?

Answer 1

Hey Satish,

Genealogy is the study and tracing of family pedigrees. This involves the collection of the names of relatives, both living and deceased, and establishing the relationships among them based on primary, secondary and/or circumstantial evidence or documentation, thus building up a cohesive family tree. Genealogy (often misspelled "geneology"[1]) is often also referred to as family history, although these terms may be used distinctly: the former being the basic study of who is related to whom; the latter involving more "fleshing out" of the lives and personal histories of the individuals involved.

Answer 3

genealogy (jē'nēŏl'əjē, –ăl'–, jĕ–) , the study of family lineage. Genealogies have existed since ancient times. Family lineage was originally transmitted through oral tradition and later, with the invention of writing, was passed on through written records. The genealogies in the Bible probably originated in oral tradition. Ancient Greeks and Romans traced their ancestry to gods and heroes, and traditional tribes often claim descent from animals. Genealogies flourished in the Middle Ages because the development of feudalism made status and the transference of possessions dependent upon the tracing of family lines. To a lesser degree, this condition continues in some countries, as England, to the present day. Examples of English genealogies are the books of Burke, Collins, and others on the peerage.
In the United States, pedigree per se has not been crucial in determining status or in transferring property, but race formerly served as a great social divider (e.g., blacks were formerly enslaved in the South and were later denied their civil rights and prohibited from marrying whites in many states). In more limited situations, genealogy has had a degree of importance in the United States: Some societies limit membership to descendants of a particular group of ancestors; the Mormons collect genealogical information for religious purposes and have established a large Family History Library; and some families keep careful genealogical records and stage periodic reunions.

Since the 18th cent. genealogy has developed into a subsidiary academic discipline, serving sociology, history, medicine, and law. Libraries often have departments of genealogy, where volumes used in genealogical research are kept (e.g., passenger ship lists, immigration records, family genealogies, etc.); many historical societies also have such libraries. Many genealogical materials, such as those compiled by the Mormons, are now available for research on the World Wide Web..

Answer 4

The usual usage refers to tracing family roots--like relatives, past generations, etc. Many people do it as a hobby (constructing family trees, etc.). More generally, it can also refer to the historical development of ideas and practices over time. For example, Nietzsche has a book called "On The Genealogy of Morals," in which he posits a thesis regarding how certain modes of moral thought came into existence.

Answer 5

A record or table of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or ancestors; a family tree.

Answer 6

I am guessing that the word Genealogy comes from the Greek words 'Genos' and 'Logos'. 'Genos' means 'tribe/race/bloodline' (in this case), while 'logos' originates from the Greek verb for speech. This would mean that Genealogy means speaking of one's bloodline, and thus, analysing it.
