February 2026

A warm welcome to the February issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

This month the show season begins with our annual virtual event on Saturday 7 February: the Family History Show Online. Turn to our news section for more details on the line-up, and do grab your ticket now! And of course we'll be back in person next month for the Midlands show on 14 March.

This issue, meanwhile, brings you the usual variety of subjects, from Victorian sexual politics to 17th-century priest holes to the life of Kenneth Williams! How's that for breadth? And of course there's more besides.

Don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
