August 2025

Welcome to the August issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

Old tollhouses are still a feature of the British landscape, even if there are few actual toll roads these days. In this issue, Phil Wood tells the story of the turnpike network. We also have Steve Roberts back with a moving exploration of his father-in-law's life, we delve into the complex family dynamics during the heyday of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada, and much more besides.

Don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website. And it's not long now until the London Family History Show in October!

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
