Why is it important to know your family's history?

Answer 1

It doesn't carry much practical value to know your family tree. People generally learn and look up their genealogy for entertainment and sentimental reasons. The level of importance to know your family tree is as high or low as YOU make it!

Answer 2

Knowing about your ancestors can give you a sense of belonging to a larger family and can also be a means through which you learn about the broader history of an ethnic group or region. This can be helpful in your life but is not necessarily critical to your life. Many people never learn about their ancestors, yet lead satisfying and successful lives.
