Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 050
Welcome to the June issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, the monthly digital family and social history magazine.
It hardly seems possible but this is our 50th issue! This monthly Periodical began in the spring of 2013, and every month since then we’ve had a unique mixture of articles which will help you further your research into your forebears or illuminate their lives and times. I’m proud to have been at the helm throughout, and here’s to the next 50 issues! Discover Your Ancestors began, of course, with our annual print edition, which is now in its sixth issue, available in newsagents and via www.discoveryourancestors.co.uk. Remember, this is packed with more than 30 features, all of them different from those in the Periodical.
The family history world has been stunned by the closure of the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show – but there is good news in the form of the long-standing York and new London Family History Shows, organised by our team. The York show is coming up this month (see page 26) – I hope to see you there! In the meantime, enjoy this issue. Andrew Chapman, Editor.
