A warm welcome to the May issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your monthly digital mix of family and social history.

It's 110 years this month since the tragic sinking of the Lusitania by a torpedo, leading to hundreds of lives being lost. This month, Dene Bebbington tells the story of the ship – and Steve Roberts, while exploring his grandfather's life, discovers a personal connection to the events. And of course there's plenty more inside, from carousels to opera singers!

Thanks to everyone who came to our first Liverpool show this month – another great event. Time for a pause – but we'll be back at the London show in October. Full details as always at the Family History Show website.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
