Devoted to the ever engrossing act of studying your antecedents,
Your Family History is a publication from those you brought you Your Family Tree magazine, but covers the actual history of relatives rather than simply the art of constructing the family tree.
Inside each issue there is all the latest news about family history and the opening and closure of archives around the country, alongside excellent expert advice and answers from professional archivists. Much of the mag is devoted to social history, looking at exciting periods of this country’s past your ancestors may have been involved in. Your family history also covers topics such as heraldry, media coverage of history, reviews of relevant books and CDs and lists courses to attend across the UK.

When enough time passes between a historical event and the ever-moving ‘now’, it can be easy to almost forget that there were real people involved. The further into the past something happened, the more distant (unsurprisingly) we feel, until it becomes hard to remember that these were genuine humans rather than characters in a narrative full of plagues, kings and wars, something patently not true but all to easy to believe.
Your Family History does an excellent job of reconnecting up with the past, exploring it in what true historians would now consider a ‘proper’ manner of history. The notion of history being one long narrative that brings us to where we are now, with those who represented our current sensibilities being ‘good’ and the others ‘bad’ has long been rejected in academic circles. No more are Kings and dates and wars the most important things to be studied – something heretical to those who have only studied history at school. This mag takes the social history approach, considering what impact events would have had on the average, everyday folk that your ancestors probably were (not all of us are direct descendants of royalty I’m afraid), and for that it gets a great big tick from the history professors amongst us.
