Genealogy
by Werner Kruck and Abner Mathews
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.
Werner and Abner, longtime members of the New Jersey Computer Club, will share their experiences in gathering their families' information and the various ways they have put it together.
