The term genealogy is used in this article and in the Family History Library Catalog to describe various records containing family information gathered by individuals, researchers, societies, or archives. These records may include pedigree charts, compiled information on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These can be excellent sources of information and may save you valuable time. Because they are not original records but are compiled from other sources, they should be carefully evaluated for accuracy. | The term genealogy is used in this article and in the Family History Library Catalog to describe various records containing family information gathered by individuals, researchers, societies, or archives.
