Genealogies are things that keep families and clans together, connected wherever its members may be. Some clans go back many generations, as proven by well kept records of birthdates and other occasions. As a foundational item, birthdates are immediately recorded on the family tree to reflect each new member that is born.

Birthdays are a basic thing for keeping records, though a lot will go further and really flesh out identities of members. Genealogy records are also about the record of families, and entire diaries might be included, especially for those members that have lead interesting or famous lives. One member could have been a poet, or a successful businessman or war hero.

To keep any kind of information is the thing to do here. Folks are given to do a variety of many things that can be found in society. And thus it will often need a group of secretary and auditor types to keep the genealogical information updated through the years. A clan or family often has a designated person or persons who do these jobs.

One other purpose for this is to keep track of all living members, to see if they are safe. For those who have passed away, the information about him or her will be commemorative. This means that anyone who has the blank after the birth year filled is going to be appreciated and remembered well by all living members and future generations.

The better stuff are those that were kept by families that have been famous. That is one reason why histories of nations can be aided by familial histories. The more famous families though can have no one following them when heirs are not produced. This is a thing that can be sad about records, even with the most famous people known through the history of nations.

Dates though are still very important and a chronology is a very relevant story in itself. Familial histories are defined by dates, important occasions that often have a lot of recorded details that are kept with various info. Sometimes family histories can offer the most significant details about the lives of famous men who have defined an era or a stage in history.

Some facts that could have been hidden in history were thus brought to light. People in succeeding generations simply accessed the record of old members and those that have died. The more details there are in these records, the more likely that future histories will have more details it can use to make history that much clearer.

People will not rely on just general data along, because they know that the details matter to them and may even grow valuable as years pass. Those books of history benefit greatly from the genealogies that provide them data. Often, the accuracy of family histories are very good, clearing away any kind of doubtful opinion and facts that have been given.

Lineages of kings and other royal lines are some of the most well kept of these. But then, some scholars also question these as they may be partly hagiographical in nature. This means that they are celebratory, praising the details of royal lives, which may be overblown, so not useful for purposes of objective study or historical detailing.
