Genealogialliset

Genealogialliset is a Finnish plural adjective form meaning genealogical or relating to genealogy. It is used to describe data, studies, records, or methods that pertain to family history and ancestry. The form typically accompanies plural nouns, as in genealogialliset tiedot (genealogical data) or genealogialliset rekisterit (genealogical registers).

Etymology and form: The base concept comes from genealogy, adopted into Finnish as genealogia/genealoginen, and the adjective takes the common Finnish endings to indicate belonging or characteristic. Genealogialliset is the plural nominative form of the adjective, aligning with a plural noun it modifies.

Usage: In Finnish texts, genealogialliset is most common in archival, historical, or research contexts. It appears in descriptions of collections, catalogs, and studies that address family trees, lineage, or kinship. For example, genealogialliset tiedot may be used in a database of ancestral records or in a publication summarizing multiple family histories.

Relation to related terms: The standard singular form is genealoginen, which conveys the same general meaning for a single noun. Sukututkimus (family history research) is the field where such terminology frequently appears. In Finnish, other languages may use cognates like genealogiskt in Swedish or genealogical in English, but genealogialliset is specifically the Finnish plural adjective form.

Privacy and ethics: As with genealogical work generally, handling genealogialliset data involves considerations of privacy, consent, and access restrictions, especially for contemporary individuals in archival or public databases.
