An ancestral home is the place of origin of one's extended family, particularly the home owned and preserved by the same family for several generations.[citation needed] The term can refer to an individual house or estate, or to a broader geographic area such as a town, a region, or an entire country. An ancestral home may be a physical place, part of a series of places that one associates with state, nation or region.[1] In the latter cases, the phrase ancestral homeland might be used.[2] In particular, the concept of a diaspora requires the concept of an ancestral home from which the diaspora emanates.[3] However, it is also possible that "[t]he family living in an ancestral home is surrounded by visible, physical symbols of family continuity and solidarity".[4]
