Invented Genealogies, Forgotten Genealogies, Repressed Genealogies, Recovered Genealogies. A Survey About the Romanian Genealogical Knowledge

Abstract

I will try, in the following lines, to present a brief history of Romanian genealogical knowledge and the successive losses that have marked it. In my view, these losses, these successive mournings influence even today the way we relate to our own ancestors and, more broadly, the way we relate to the memory of the community and to each other.
