Current Issue

A (drought-struck) warm welcome to the August issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

The standard genealogical records are hugely important – but sometimes there are details they just can't reveal. In this issue we have not one but two great examples of this – an old recipe book unearthed by Helen Parker-Drabble, and a family member's schoolbook in the hands of Keith Gregson. Do read both articles – it's lovely to see real people's personalities and preoccupations on the page in a way that official documents can never capture.

Meanwhile we celebrate a century of the British Grand Prix, Dawes bicycles and the first public phone boxes – what a lively time the 1920s were! All that and more inside…

Do remember our print editions too, packed with different articles: find a wealth of back issues at the DYA website.

I hope you enjoy this issue, and the summer.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
