Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 022
Welcome again to Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly feast of family and social history.
As I write, Issue 4 of our print edition is almost ready for press, and will be out in late February. It’s our biggest-ever issue, and packed to the gunwales with treasures from history – all new articles different from those in the Periodical. I’m also very pleased to announce that it will have a DVD on the cover, packed with data and offers worth well over £100! Visit www.discoveryourancestors.co.uk to pre-order your copy now at a discount, or keep an eye on your newsagent later this month.
Meanwhile in this issue of the Periodical we have two very different, equally fascinating case studies of convicts transported to Australia, one of whom turned the situation to his advantage. Keith Gregson completes his two-part series on tracing sporting ancestors, as does Melvyn Jones on the gems to be found in estate archives. And there’s plenty more. Enjoy the issue, and do look out for the new print edition soon.
