Genealogy has become more and more popular over the past years, perhaps because the internet has made data more easily accessible than before.

Genealogy is family history, seeking to trace the history of the family, generation by generation. Genealogy can teach you a lot about your own history.

Not too many years ago you had to visit archives, consult old church books, etc. These are still well known strategies in genealogy today, but more and more information is also available online.

Keynote speakers dealing with genealogy might offer tricks and advice as to how to go about researching your family history, how to trace generations back in time and what to do if you get stuck.
