世界各地有数百万人致力于了解家族史，以了解他们的过去。这种做法尚未得到充分研究，我们需要努力理解它是如何运作的。在过去的十年中，通过使用 DNA 测序来实现遗传谱系学，家族史已经发生了改变。通过分析家庭历史学家在多个焦点小组中产生的数据，本文有助于我们通过与社区密切接触来理解家族史作为一种实践。文章特别考虑了家族历史学家对 DNA 测序产生的新数据挑战的反应。观察这种做法正在发生的变化，可以更清楚地了解家族史的运作方式以及学术研究如何与之相关。
Family history is undertaken by millions around the world seeking to understand their past. This practice is understudied, and we need to work hard to understand how it works. Over the past decade, family history has been transformed through the use of DNA sequencing to enable genetic genealogy. Through analyzing data generated in a number of focus groups with family historians, this article contributes to our understanding of family history as a practice by engaging closely with the community. In particular, the article considers the responses of family historians to the challenge of the new data generated through DNA sequencing. Looking at the ways in which the practice is changing enables a clearer view of how family history works and how scholarship might engage with it.
