The study of family history. The study of and compilation of historic records related to a family and extensions of the family tree. 

  

 

Family Tree

A family tree is generally the totality of one's ancestral line represented as a tree chart used in genealogy 

 
Old and young alike are often drawn into a cultural renaissance, researching old records, writing poetry and telling  stories of family legends. Often family members are inspired to perform historical skits at the annual reunions and thus building a strong sense of the family's heritage.  

Genealogy Research and Family Reunion Planning
Family reunions are often organized by baby-boomers who have much to do with researching the family tree and documenting the family lineage. Planned family reunion events feature themes, slogans, historic genealogy tours, grave site visits and a luncheon or dinner program. At these events ancestors and living elders are often acknowledged and honored. The family reunion planning guide outlines primary features of traditional family reunions.
