December 2024

A warm welcome to the December issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history, in our unique web-friendly format ideal for screens of all sizes.

In this issue we look into some of the lighter side of the season – through Denise Bates's history of festive gift-giving – and the darker, as Dene Bebbington reflects on the surprise December bombing of Yorkshire's coast not long after the outbreak of WW1. Meanwhile, Phil Wood gives us a taste of the rise of afternoon tea – and there's plenty more inside!

If you need a great Christmas present for a family history lover, it's not too late to obtain a copy of the 11th printed edition of Discover Your Ancestors at our website – it's packed with dozens of fascinating articles.

I hope you enjoy this issue, and have a happy Christmas.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
