Current Issue

September 2025

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

Two of our features in this issue look at family and social history through an interesting psychological lens – looking at how an understanding of our ancestors' experiences can inform our research, plus considering why people have been drawn to 'true crime' stories for centuries. We also take in a milestone anniversary for the railways, the history of dry cleaning, and more!

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! Do grab your early bird tickets asap.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
