Magazines

Great for embellishing your research

Each month new issues of genealogy magazines are released, and these magazines are something all family historians should look at at some point during their research. The magazines usually include reviews of newly released items, online news, and interesting articles and stories about people's ancestors. In the UK there are currently three different magazines that are worth a look.


Family Tree Magazine

Every issue of Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine is filled with advice from leading genealogists on how to expand your family tree and discover more about your ancestors.

Discover Your Ancestors

Discover Your Ancestors Magazine
Discover Your Ancestors Magazine, Issue 9

They have two products – an annual print bookazine, Discover Your Ancestors, and Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, a monthly online digest. Both are largely aimed at those starting out in family history research, although there is something in every edition for the more experienced family historian. The underlying theme is that of exploring social history – how our ancestors lived their lives, giving researchers context and further background knowledge as they continue their quest for that “missing” link.

Back-issues of both the annual bookazine (print) and monthly periodicals (yearly compilation CDs) are available from S&N Genealogy.
