genealogy
含义: The study and tracing of lines of descent and family histories, or a diagram or account showing such ancestry.
Genealogy has become one of the most popular hobbies in Britain, aided by digitised records and DNA testing services. Parish registers, census returns, and military records are key primary sources for genealogical research. The word is also used in academic philosophy to describe the intellectual history of an idea or concept, following the usage established by Nietzsche and Foucault.
