In its most general sense, the term genealogy refers to the study of family history, while encompassing such related fields as ethnology, onomatology and heraldry.
If your ancestors have lived outside Italy for a few generations, you must establish your Italian-born ancestor's precise date and place of birth or marriage in Italy if you wish to proceed to establish a lineage.
Two type are employed in the presentation of pedigrees. The traditional agnate (patrilineal) type concentrates on lineage through your father's father's father, etc. This may include collaterals (siblings) in some generations will be of the same family and bear the same surname. In the seize quartier (multilineal) type every ancestral lineage is indicated in each generation.
