Relating to genealogy; tracing or recording family descent and ancestry; of or pertaining to family trees.
From Late Latin 'genealogicus,' derived from Greek 'genealogia' (genealogy). This form is older and less common than the -ical variant, preserved mainly in specialized academic writing.
English has both 'genealogic' and 'genealogical,' and this shows a pattern where -ic forms are older (from Latin directly) while -ical forms are newer English formations.
