Past & future, present & correct
I’m just not sure where to begin this issue as there are so many sparkling topics to whisk you hither and thither back through time in hot pursuit of family history.
Family Tree Academy tutor David Annal provides an excellent reminder for us to to really scrutinise the records, both assessing what we find and keeping a careful eye on possible gaps in collections too. Reader Ann Larkham’s research radar is alerted by an uncanny sense of genealogical déja vu... even though she is searching for someone she has never sought before. Dr Colin Chapman shares his research findings borne of many years of investigation into WW1 escapes from Prisoner of War camps on British soil, of which there were surprisingly many. Steve Roberts is intrigued by Kings Edward I, II and III, and – in keeping with the era – Diane Lindsay reflects on the Medieval mealtimes of her ancestors, in particular on breakfast.
