The Victorian Legacy – what our ancestors did next
This talk explores the lives and times of our ancestors through the messages they wrote and the postcards they sent: mill workers in Yorkshire, families affected by the first national railway strike, visitors to London and the execution of murderers are just some of the stories included in this talk. Our ancestors left a remarkable record of their lives; will you discover your own ancestors through postcards from the past?
