Book

Tracing your family tree can be immensely rewarding and many people begin by researching their male ancestors. After all, it was the men who were the breadwinners, who went off to war, and who led the interesting lives. Or was it?

In this book, Margaret Ward shines a light on the often-forgotten female side of the family - what their marriages meant to them, how they coped in peace and war and how they were viewed by the law and by society. Her book is a mine of information and ideas for all those who are researching their family tree and for those who would just like to know more about the lives of their female ancestors. Illustrated; 128pp; p/bk
