The term genealogy is used in this wiki and in the Family History Library Catalog to describe a variety of records containing family information previously gathered by other researchers, societies, or archives. | |||
Genealogy records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These sources can save time, but because they are compiled from other sources, you must carefully evaluate their accuracy. | Genealogy records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents.
