Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 010
Welcome once again to Discover Your Ancestors Periodical. It’s a busy time for the genealogy world with the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show coming up at London’s Olympia from 20-22 February. We’ll be there with our own stand, of course, so do drop by and say hello.
We’ll be launching Issue 3 of our annual print edition – 164 pages packed full of exclusive new content. In it you will find more than 30 fascinating features on everything from bigamy to WW1 maps, crammed full of social history articles and practical research advice. Get in there quick with our special subscriber offer (see below) and save money!
If you’re at the show – which is the biggest history-related event in the world! – do visit our supporters at TheGenealogist there too –they will have a lecture theatre twice the size of last year with a crammed schedule of expert talks. You will also find Discover Your Ancestors and special subscription offers at their stand.
Back to this issue of the Periodical for now, though: inside we have the usual eclectic mix, including an interesting social history piece by Nell Darby on the many different types of ‘working from home’ that went on long before the present day. Jenny Jones continues our series on marriage with a look at Fleet weddings, which we’ll follow up next time with irregular Borders marriages in Scotland. Plus we’ve got wills, first-hand memories of WW2 veterans, guidance on apprenticeship records, and more! Andrew Chapman, Editor
