Website of the Day: Wednesday January18th
You may have heard Sheila Hancock on last Wednesday’s programme talking about her involvement in BBC One’s family history series Who Do You Think You Are.
The programme’s accompanying site is an excellent introduction to genealogical research in the UK, with guides to reading and interpreting census records and piecing the past together using war memorabilia and house history. There are comprehensive links to the UK’s best genealogical websites and an excellent interactive tool called Bloodlines which lets you store relevant information in a personal online folder.
One of the non-BBC sites used extensively during the series is Ancestery.co.uk – who are offerring free access to the complete 1901 census for the duration of the series.
