50 winning entries plus the best of the rest. In association with the History Channel.

The History Channel launched The Family History Project on 1 September 2003, on the conviction that every family has a great great story to tell. Family historians nationwide - whether new or seasoned researchers - were invited to share the tales of their ancestors. The response has been incredible. The entries relate a wealth of human experience, from the discovery of celebrity relations to war-torn romances and lives saved in shark-infested waters. Here we present the very best, to move you, thrill you, and even inspire you to explore the great stories within your own family.

Contents:

• Bravery: heroes in war and peace
• Journeys: travellers' tales of escape, exploration, and migration
• Intrigue: secrets and lies, mystery and coincidence
• Scandal: family skeletons from the misbehaved to the murderous
• Passion: how lovers met, parted, reunited
• Discovery: grand achievements, famous connections, long-lost relations

Plus photographs, memorabilia, documents, family trees, and research tips from everyone's favourite family historian, Dr Nick Barratt.
