Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g1076 Greek: genealogia

Genealogy:

is used in 1Ti 1:4; Tts 3:9, with reference to such "genealogies" as are found in Philo, Josephus and the book of Jubilees, by which Jews traced their descent from the patriarchs and their families, and perhaps also to Gnostic "genealogies" and orders of aeons and spirits. Amongst the Greeks, as well as other nations, mythological stories gathered round the birth and "genealogy" of their heroes. Probably Jewish "genealogical" tales crept into Christian communities. Hence the warnings to Timothy and Titus.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g1075 Greek: genealogeo

Genealogy:

"to reckon or trace a genealogy" (from genea, "a race," and lego, "to choose, pick out"), is used, in the Passive Voice, of Melchizedek in Hbr 7:6, RV, "whose genealogy (AV, 'descent') is not counted."

C-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g35 Greek: agenealogetos

Genealogy:

denoting "without recorded pedigree" (a, negative, and an adjectival form from B), is rendered "without genealogy" in Hbr 7:3. The narrative in Gen. 14 is so framed in facts and omissions as to foreshadow the person of Christ.
