Discover Your Ancestors
Issue 129
A warm welcome to the January 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. And of course Happy New Year!
We kick off the new year with the usual interesting melange – from the sad story of the women incarcerated in the Magdalene laundries, recently brought to attention in a TV drama; to the race for speed and progress on land and in the air at Brooklands; and down to the fascinating minutiae of newspaper small ads. We have all this and more.
Meanwhile work on the next print edition of Discover Your Ancestors continues, so keep an eye out for news here and at the DYA website. And remember to save the dates for this year's Family History Shows – the first one is coming up quite soon, in February!
I hope you enjoy this issue, and that the new year brings you exciting discoveries in your family tree.
