Is there any value in pursuing genealogy?

"Pursuing genealogy is a distraction from the true quest; instead of asking 'From where?', turn inward and ask 'Who am I?' to discover your true source."
According to Osho, chasing genealogy mistakes a spiritual longing for origins for a family-history project. Tracing ancestors never reaches the first cause; the question ‘From where?’ remains. Instead, turn inward: ask ‘Who am I?’ and quiet thought through meditation. Knowing yourself reveals your source and, with it, the whole. Genealogy may satisfy curiosity, but it cannot deliver existential understanding.
A family tree can’t show where life truly comes from—look inside to discover who you really are.
