Current Issue

January 2026

A warm welcome to the January issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice – and of course Happy New Year.

A new year often brings an impetus to delve deeper into family history – who know what you might discover in 2026? As an impetus to your own research, perhaps, in this issue we have a variety of different research stories – from a working-class football hero to an investor in Antipodean gold mines to exploring the story opened up by a painting of a ship. I hope you find inspiration from them!

Don't forget our print editions too, packed with different articles: complete your set at the DYA website. And we're now only a month away from the first of this year's Family History Shows! Join us online on 7 February, then around the country in person throughout the year.

I hope you enjoy this issue, and have a successful year ahead.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
