Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 088
A warm welcome to the August issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital family and social history magazine.
It’s coming up to half a century – not really that long – since the law about breach of promise to marry was dropped. This month Denise Bates looks into this powerful law which affected many people’s lives. Jayne Shrimpton gives us a guide to photographs showing sporting and leisure pursuits in past decades. And we have two shady characters explored by Nell Darby and Nick Thorne.
Meanwhile we’re gearing up for our second online Family History Show, in September (see page 28), so do head to www.thefamilyhistoryshow.com and get your tickets early to save money!
I hope you enjoy this issue, and your summer.
