Genealogical research is enjoying a great interest of scientists as well as fans investigating their family roots in our times. Although no precise definition of genealogical information exists, in practice it assumes strictly determined forms which makes it hard to mistake it for any other type of specialist information (e.g. medical, European or legal information). Its description is complex and based on special systems of numbering of ancestors, descendants and kinships as a distinctive feature. Similarly to other types of information, genealogical information is diversely presented. This thesis finds its confirmation in a number of genealogical initiatives carried out in the network environment: web pages of institutions dealing with genealogy, services devoted to family search, databases specializing in the storage of genealogical data, and specialist community portals enabling to create family trees. The article is an attempt to discuss the nature of genealogical information, most commonly used systems of genealogical numbering and model electronic resources dedicated to this area.
