Genealogy is the study of ones ancestors and related people.

It is often called Family History and differs from more conventional History in that Genealogy need not focus on prominent or influential people or on broad or important sociopolitical trends. It does focus on the names, activities and living environment of the ancestors of the specific people who are involved in the genealogical enterprise, even though they were not famous or influential.
