Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 121
A warm welcome to the May issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history.
The work of past civil registrars is of course essential for today’s family history research, but we probably reflect rarely on the people who undertook that role – but in this issue we have Daniel Hewitt to rectify that through his discovery of an old manual detailing their responsibilities – do take a look. Meanwhile we look at subjects as diverse as renting a home, the adventures of Christian missionaries and use the latest amazing high-resolution census scans to aid research.
We’re also planning our next trip to York: do grab your show tickets now www.thefamilyhistoryshow.com!
