Genealogy is the study of families and ancestors. People who study genealogy are called genealogists. They use birth records, ma

rriage licenses, real estate purchases, death certificates, and military enlistments to trace ancestors and family trees. Most genealogists are hobbyists who only follow their own family names as far back into history as possible. However, there are professional genealogists who can trace the lives of well-known people or royalty back for generations.
Originally, the government of ancient Rome kept censuses and tax records, but most of that information is lost. After the establishment of the Catholic Church, most people in Europe kept track of their ancestors through church and parish congregation rolls. In other civilized parts of the world, the procedure was similar. However, in less civilized cultures, it was difficult to keep track of family lines, and most of the family trees were kept orally, with names passed down from parent to child. Occasionally, cultures composed songs and poems to remember ancestors.
After the invention of the printing press, things became much simpler to keep track of family lines. When the Bible was mass produced, most families kept a copy and handed it down through generations. Births, marriages, and deaths were recorded in the family Bible, so families began to trace their kinship through writing. The printing press also allowed government agencies to keep better record of municipal and state censuses. Human beings began to leave more of a paper trail through the centuries.
With the creation and use of the World Wide Web, genealogy has exploded. Everyone with an internet connection has easy access to government databases and library records dating back hundreds of years. Social networking websites cater to amateur genealogists and make it simple to assemble a family tree with a little help. Now it is entirely possible to access records across oceans and continents without having to travel to a foreign place to research in a library or office. As people’s lives become more recorded, tracing genealogies will be as simple as pushing a button or flipping a switch.

Answer:

C.

What do genealogists have to look forward to in the future?

Explanation:

After reading the article, the reader learns about the history of genealogy dating to as far back as ancient Rome. The various ways by which ancient people kept and traced records were highlighted in the text. The writer records this chronology down to our present generation were the World Wide Web has made the keeping of records even simpler.

At this point, and after reading the last paragraph where the writer assumes that soon tracing genealogies will be as simple as pushing a button, the reader might now wonder the new inventions that would be possible in the future and that would make the tracing of genealogies even easier.

Do you believe that cutting or reducing the amount of pe in schools in favor of core academic subjects is a good idea? why or wh
finlep [7]
This questions seems to be a question where you are required to mention more than one point. The question has two options of course, I'll tell you my personal answer to the question in broken up points.

I disagree with this statement because I believe that Physical Education (PE) is a very important subject for each individual.
It has been proven that any sort of physical education improves the activity of your brain, if an individual's level of brain activity is higher, it means he learns more from other education and performs better on his tests. 
Physical Education is also a practical lesson that relieves stress off students from all the other core subjects that do not that involve as much practical activity.
Physical Education makes you healthier, the healthier you are the better your life style and (technically) life time will be.
Physical Education is also now proven to wake up students, this means students are less lazy and goes back to one of my previous points mentioning a students activity and performance in a lesson or a test.

I hope this helped, any other questions let me know. :3

True or False <br> The sea floor is smooth and level
Zina [86]

Answer: False

The sea floor is also known as the seabed or the ocean floor. It is made of mafic rocks (crystallized matter from silicate magma) deposits and minerals including basalt, gabbro, olivine, serpentine, peridotite, and ore minerals from VMS (Volcanic Massive Sulfide). Rocks do not have a smooth surface, therefore, the seabed is not smooth and level.
