An ancestor is a parent or grandparent (for example: a grandparent, great-grandparent, and so on).
Genealogy research involves searching for ancestors and family ties -- going back generation after generation. Some cultures place a huge amount of importance on ancestors both living and dead. Genealogists try to tie families together by identifying where we came from and who our relatives are.
