Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 127
A warm welcome to the November issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history – once again in our new web-friendly format ideal for screens of all sizes!
In this month's hotpot of historical interest (a warming metaphor as the autumn sets in), we celebrate this year's 150th anniversary of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich (although its history stretches back through previous incarnations as a royal palace and then a hospital for seamen). Nell Darby leads us towards the festive season with a cheery exploration of the glee club movement. Denise Bates delves into the joys of local history, and how written accounts can inform our genealogical research too – and there's more besides.
Don't forget to start making plans for next year's Family History Shows too – we now have events in three different parts of England, plus the usual annual online one. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this issue…
