Pursuing your descent through a genealogy search is to trace your lineage or ancestry and your heredity.
Search engines offer a place to enter a search term or a keyword.
Many times, genealogy or surname homepages provide a search tool to do a surname search to seek your roots on the internet. One can also find a genealogy homepage which has a listing of geneology sites on the internet or a toolbox to use for family searches and for further exploration. Such family homepages offer subjects which are linked to resources around the world. There one can find sources for finding web sites to explore census, deaths, marriages, births, wills, vital records, taxes, ethnic information, and also, what's really new on-line. To explore the kinship and inheritance of your roots, your blood line will yield your family history.
