The scientific novelty of the presented work consists in expanding ideas about the practical use of archival documents in the process of genealogical research in relation to the study of the genealogy of a kind and the creation of a genealogical tree. Conclusions. Genealogy today is a separate interdisciplinary field, which is a special way reflects the historicism of the social consciousness of famous people of today, their place in the social structure of society. In modern conditions of increasing interest in the genealogy of the genus, the analysis of the peculiarities of the search for genealogical information is not only theoretical but also practical. Therefore, the essential goal of the functioning of archives – the use of retrospective documentary information – is fully realized. Along with documentary sources (certificates, acts, metric books, wills, church descriptions, etc.) narrative (descriptive) archival sources are important in the process of genealogical research. Genealogical resource, which is accumulated in the archives of Ukraine, is divided into two large groups: 1) pedigrees in any form (family tree, family table, family list, etc.); 2) other types of sources that contain important information about a person, his life and environment (documents of state and public institutions that have a mass character and determine family ties between people, church metric books, census documents, etc.). Archival documents, both official and private, play the most important role in the accumulation of reliable genealogical information about a particular genus or family chronicles.
