Current Issue

September 2026

A warm welcome to the September issue of Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, your regular mix of family and social history stories, explorations and advice.

Family historians will be familiar with wills as an invaluable research resource, but sometimes it's easy to miss useful extra details – in his feature in this issue, Robb Gorr reminds us of the many different types of gleanings they can offer. Meanwhile we also explore the popularity of the 19th-century 'penny press', Georgian menageries and more!

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

And it's not long now until the London Family History Show on 3 October: find out more here!

Do join us.

I hope you enjoy this issue.

Andrew Chapman, Editor.
