What lucky readers you are! Team YFT have commissioned one of the UK’s leading military history experts as a contributing writer for this military-themed issue. Paul Reed’s cover feature explains in detail the different types of data available for each of the major conflicts over the last 150 years. It also points you to the starting points and forgotten gems of information available from the Napoleonic conflicts through to WWII.

Then there is our ultimate 100-page, full-colour UK Regional Guide. It’s the perfect resource for when you find another wandering ancestor on your tree. We’ve compiled the details of archives, libraries and museums in the region so that you can visit in person; and we’ve also provided our pick of the websites catering to the county or locality in question, so that you can get to know the area from your comfort of your favourite armchair.

Our regular occupation series continues focuses on Doctors and we uncover records and more. We then take a journey into the Australian past and discover the epic voyage of the First Fleet and those who eventually settled Down Under.

We show you how to use a host of online archives to trace ancestors with a colonial past, get started with police records, trace farming kin and visit Glamorgan in our regular region series
