- History
Interviews with expert historians and genealogists, covering everything from medieval Britain to Anne Lister's diaries. From DNA expertise to Suffragette activism!
Presented by me (Natalie Pithers), a family historian on a mission to help others write their family history.
Seeking to understand the time and place within which our ancestors lived is a crucial step for anyone exploring their family history. Our ancestors were more than names and dates.
With this in mind I pick the brains of a wide variety of experts, asking the 'stupid' questions so that you don't have to!

History of Emotions

This week #TwiceRemoved delves into the fascinating world of our ancestors emotions with historian Matthew Roberts.
