Welcome

DNA research is gathering momentum by the day, helping to make it more possible than ever to piece together our family histories, and the stories of ourselves, by combining DNA and traditional research. So if you’ve recently taken a DNA test, jump in, trace your family tree and see what you might discover. It feels like (and is) a whole new era for tracing our roots!

And some of the anniversaries that are cropping up in 2020 show just how important it is to remember the lives of the kin who’ve come before us. From the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower in 1620, with the Pilgrim Fathers bound for new lives in a New World; to the 75th anniversary of VE Day 1945, when we remember the end of the Second World War in Europe. These aren’t just anniversaries of historical events – they’re a remembrance of the times that our ancestors lived through, the things they endured, their struggle to survive and thrive and work towards a better world.

Have a brilliant time tracing your family history in the year to come. You’ll definitely find tales to treasure. All good wishes for 2020!
