Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 045
Happy New Year, and welcome to the January issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, once again bringing you a rich and interesting mixture of family and social history.
This month we mark the centenary of the Silvertown munitions factory explosion in London, which highlights the perilous world of munitions workers, many of whom were women. We have a double dose of the article’s author, Sharon Brookshaw, in fact, with her fascinating piece on the history of depression, which seems apt enough in the dark days of winter.
Offering a beam of light, however, is the fabulous news that our sixth annual printed edition is now available to buy, and will give you plenty to read on those winter nights by the fire. You can pick up Issue 6 – crammed with more than 30 new features, and some amazing offers on the cover DVD – online via discoveryourancestors.co.uk or www.genealogysupplies.com, and look out for it in newsagents from next month. Meanwhile, enjoy this issue! Andrew Chapman, Editor.
