The practice of genealogy stretches back to ancient civilizations, where tracking lineage was essential for social, political, and spiritual purposes. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs recorded their ancestry on monuments and papyrus to legitimize their divine rule, while in China, families maintained ancestral tablets and genealogical books to honor forebears and ensure proper rituals. The Sumerians, as early as 3000 BCE, inscribed clay tablets with family lineages to manage land inheritance. These early efforts show how genealogy was not just about family pride but also about securing power, property, and cultural continuity across generations.
