In issue 102 we gave the incorrect date for the Sussex Family & Local History Day. Our apologies.
This event will actually take place on April 17, and features a range of stalls and exhibitors offering help and advice to family historians of the south coast.

The YFT team are out in force at WDYTYA? Live 2011, and only a few hours in to the three day show it looks like another excellent year for family historians and exhibitors alike.
So far we’ve witnessed former editor Russell James give a lecture on getting started in family history, met up with lots of friends – old and new – and been treated to some expert talks and discussions care of the Society of Genealogists, Ancestry and The Genealogist team.
We’ll be reporting live from the event all over the weekend, so make sure to check back in for the latest news on the show.
The YFT team will be at WDYTYA? Live on Stand 524, and we’re bringing along three expert genealogists for you to pose your questions to.
If you’ve hit a brickwall, lost an ancestor or just need some general advice, head to Stand 524 for one of our three daily sessions. We have a different expert each day: military expert Paul Reed; professional genealogist Doreen Hopwood; and surnames and heraldry specialist Anthony Adolph. You can book a slot to see them by clicking here, or just turn up and register for a time slot.
Anyone serious about using their computer for genealogical purposes will need some form of dedicated software.
Knowing what your ancestors did for a living not only adds character to your family story, but can give you more leads to research. Successfully tracking down online records relating to the working lives of your ancestors depends largely on the work they were involved with and where they lived.
Some of the most important documents for your family history research are the decennial censuses from 1841 to 1911. These allow us to work out where our ancestors were on census night, what they did for a living, the extent of their families, their state of health, and even the languages they spoke.
Our aim is to make tracing family history accessible and rewarding for everyone. Your Family Tree offers practical advice, written by experts, on all areas of family history research. Subscribe Now
