The ancient Egyptians kept records of a succession of Pharaohs who were members of the same family.

The ancient Chinese carefully documented dynasties, with the names of the emperors and other rulers. The first was recorded from 221-206 BC. The modern name of China comes from that ruler's name, Ch'in.

Confucius taught responsibility for ancestors, and ceremonies to honor these ancestors date back to his time (551? - 479? BC).

In preliterate cultures genealogical information was transmitted orally, usually as a list of names; later generations recorded this information.
