What is a Genealogy Search?

A genealogy search is the process of researching and tracing your family’s history and ancestry. It involves collecting information about your ancestors, such as names, dates, and significant life events. This search helps create a family tree and uncovers your heritage, often using historical records, documents, and DNA testing. The goal is to connect with past generations, understand your origins, and discover your family’s story.
