Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 009
Welcome again to Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, the first issue of the New Year – although as we’re out before Christmas, perhaps you’ll be reading this over a glass of mulled wine (do try out the Victorian party games featured in our article!).
Marriages in the past generated a surprising range of records beyond the obvious parish registers, and this month you’ll find them explored in our research guide. We’ve also got features on selected occupational records from World War One, a fascinating story about a family legal dispute hinging on an alleged case of ‘lunacy’ and more besides.
I’m also delighted to announce that we’re now working hard on our third annual printed ‘bookazine’, which will be out in time for February’s Who Do You Think You Are? Live show in London. This will offer 164 pages packed full of completely new content and is no doubt set to be a bestseller like the two previous editions. We’ll have a full preview in the February issue of the Periodical. In the meantime, all the very best for the season!
