Généalogie

Généalogie, or genealogy, is the study of family history and lineage. It involves researching and tracing an individual's ancestors and descendants through historical records, such as birth, marriage, and death certificates, census data, and other sources. The goal is to construct a family tree that illustrates relationships across generations, providing insight into one's heritage, origins, and familial connections. Genealogy combines historical research with analytical methods, often aided by technological tools, to uncover personal and collective histories, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural identity and lineage.
