I would have thought there would be a wiki resource available to conduct / store / present family histories? If there is one it should be mentioned. -- Ga rr ie 05:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
As we learn more about the human genome, genomics becomes more relavent to the discussion of Family History. In the context of Public Health Genomics, family history refers to health information about you and your close relatives. Family history is one of the most important risk factors for health problems like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. (A risk factor is anything that increases your chance of getting a disease.) See http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/public/famhistMain.htm for more information. Lid6 17:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that this article really is covering the wider field of genealogy, and that family histories are a smaller subset, which seeks biographical information on your relations. In other words, a 'family tree', or chart, is genealogy, but an Ahnentafel, with jobs, towns, and so on, is closer to a 'family history'. Should we be considring a revision?

Is there any reference for the generalization under motivation that most people in individualistic societies study family history to improve their self-esteem? While it might be true for a few, I don't think it applies to genealogists in general. It certainly isn't true for me. Foreverfreebird2 10:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)foreverfreebird2
