Stories come in different shapes and sizes, some are passed down through generations, while others are waiting to be discovered.
As we mark the International Day of Peace on 21 September, it is the perfect time to reflect on the generations who lived through war. From soldiers serving overseas to families sheltering during the Blitz, millions of ordinary people faced extraordinary circumstances that changed their lives forever.
More Than Military Records
When people think of wartime research, they often think of medals and service records. While these are important, they are only part of the story.
Your ancestors may have worked in munitions factories, cared for the injured, welcomed evacuees into their homes or kept their families together through rationing and uncertainty. Every record adds another piece to their story.
Discover the Stories Hidden in Your Family Tree
When doing your genealogy research, it helps us understand the lives our ancestors lived and the challenges they overcame.
Old photographs, newspaper articles, military records and probate documents can reveal incredible stories that might otherwise be lost to time. You never know what you might uncover until you start looking!
