Genealogy
Genealogy, or drawing up your family tree, is a popular pastime. More and more people want to know whom their ancestors were. By consulting still living relatives and different archival sources it is possible to draw up a list of names and dates of one’s ancestors. When these data are extended with information on life, religion and profession, it becomes a real family history.
