Compiling genealogies and building ancestral temples are Chinese traditions. They connect people who have the same family roots and promote their sense of belonging.
Genealogies, or family trees, are the best resources for discovering family histories, because they can answer the philosophical question of where we come from.
To some extent, genealogies are like "identity cards" for families. They contain excellent information, including the names and deeds of each generation.
