You don't have to go back all the way to Adam and Eve, just to Shem, Ham, or Japeth. This can be quite difficult, however, as most people come from "unknown peasants", whose lineage wasn't recorded. In the Middle Ages (Dark Ages) only the rich could afford to learn to read and write, and so only the rich kept records.
There are many websites and genealogical databases available, that can help you begin your search. They are limited in scope, however, and can really only help you trace your European or perhaps Far Asian roots. If your roots are Native American or African, you may be out of luck. Sorry!

Even the Jewish peoples of Israel can't even prove their lineage to Adam and Eve as all the records were destroyed in the year 70, so you can't even go that route.
Best to stick with modern day methods and you may go back a few hundred years.

There's no possible way. Even IF they existed, they would not know how to read or write. Nobody really recorded who was born when, who married who, etc up until the time when people started getting educated. Everything has been passed from stories of past generations. Besides, we are ALL related in some fashion. We are the Universal Family.

Doing your own research (and you can do it at a Mormon geneology library), if you can go back 200 years, they will trace it from there using the records they have. I don't know if they go back that far, but if you can get to Noah's son's then you can use the Bible for the rest.

for sure,it turned right into a tricky job. there become record yet significant difficulty lie in the way the record become saved.Jewish record,which the early Christians relied on, did not supply the real blood kinfolk tree yet in trouble-free words valid successions kinfolk tree. in case you evaluate the kinfolk tree in Matthew and Luke , you'll locate that the fashion of generations between between Abraham to Jesus is 40 2 for Matthew and fifty seven for Luke, a distinction of 15 generations or so. the position did those generations disappeared?the in trouble-free words clarification for the wide hollow would nicely be through blunders made through the authors themselves. both authors reported that Jesus' father become Joseph(yet,all of us knew he become no longer the blood father) yet diverse as Joseph son of Heli and Joseph son Jacob.If we are to trust the Bible ,then, we are stress to settle for that Heli and Jacob are one and a similar individual(which isn't an atypical theory in any respect in Christianity).

Go as far as research will allow, then make the rest up. Since there wasn't any writing 'in the beginning' and for awhile after that, who can prove you wrong?

Yes but you would probably find that you are inbred. Do you still want to know more?

if you are not of hebrew decent, chances are you cannot, as genisus is the history of hebrews people, not gentiles, or any other race, except as they might relate to the jews, or hebrew.
