About Us

Welcome to Discover Your Ancestors.

We have two products – an annual print bookazine, Discover Your Ancestors, and for those who can’t wait a whole year for the next issue we have developed Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, a monthly online digest with the same great quality of the print title. Both are largely aimed at those starting out in family history research, although our editor always ensures there is something in every edition for the more experienced family historian. Pervading the stories and expertly authored articles is the underlying theme of exploring social history – how our ancestors lived their lives. This gives context and further background knowledge to researchers as they continue their quest for that “missing” link.

Discover Your Ancestors Magazine

Issue 2 Sample Pages

Launched in 2011, Discover Your Ancestors was very well received at the newsstand, and sold out at WHSmith and other retail outlets where it was stocked. The magazine is available overseas, too, and has been listed at quality newsagents and bookstores from Adelaide to Vancouver. You can still buy back issues here, although stocks are very limited.

Due to the success of issue 1 and unprecedented reader demand, a further nine issues have been published.

Today issue 10 is on sale in over 4,000 newsagents and book stores in 11 countries. If your local newsagent has run out you can buy it here.

Here is a selection of testimonials from readers. Naturally we are delighted with the response and it is precisely this feedback that has driven us forward to create the monthly magazine Discover Your Ancestors Periodical.
