Researching my family tree often reminds me that ordinary lives can tell extraordinary stories.
My 5x great-grandfather, Francis Anderton, went from tenant farmer to milkman, and endured more than his fair share of hardship along the way.

Next week, I'm visiting @natarchivestrust.bsky.social in Kew to review some records from the Regency period to try and dismantle one of the brick walls I've had for a while.
What trips have you been on in the name of ##familyhistory research?
Thinking of starting your family tree? Excellent.
You'll begin by looking for a grandparent.
