I just want to get my two-bits worth in here, too ;-)) I have come to the conclusion that 'genealogy' can mean anything you want it too, and I really don't use the word a whole lot any more. I prefer 'Family History'. And in the Family's History, both biological and natural parents find a place. Maybe I'm just a collector ;-) Our daughter-in-law was adopted when quite young, she does know her biological parents, and I am researching both her adoptive and her natural families. But... here's another angle on 'genealogy'. I have hears it said, that refugees, who fled for example from France to England, took their lace skills with them. Has anyone ever put this kind of thing into a 'genealogy' - Lille from France married Bucks from England and produced..... I don't know enough about lace history to tackle something like this, nor do I have the time to do the research, but I find the idea very fascinating....
