Whether you are interested in the career of an individual service woman or just want to know more about the part played by service women in a particular war or campaign, this is the book for you.

She also vividly describes the role of women with the armed services from the Crimean War of the 1850s to the aftermath of the First World War and offers an insight into what the records can tell you about the career of an ancestor who served at home or abroad. From the army schoolmistresses to the Women’s Land Army, her account outlines the history of each service, describes uniforms and gives examples of daily life and likely experiences. This is the book you need if you want to follow up those clues in your family’s history – stories heard from older relatives, pictures in family photograph albums, handed-down uniforms, badges or medals that seem to indicate that one of your women ancestors served in wartime.

Free Download Jane Cox, "Tracing Your East End Ancestors: A Guide for Family Historians (Tracing your Ancestors)"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1848841604 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 5.8 mb
‘East Enders are a very special breed and tracing your East End ancestry is going to be tremendous fun. Everyone has got some East End ancestors – and if they haven’t they invent them, rollicking chaps, larky and resourceful, talking a funny language to keep "them" guessing, eating at eel and pie shops, shouting out their wares in clattering, colorful markets. Their wives and masters (" ‘er in doors") are brazen lassies, smart as paint, tough as their men folk, presiding over an undoubted matriarchal society where Mum rules OK? The good tales are of bright little kids, unshod and streetwise, rising above their origins and making a mint. The bad ones are of indescribable horror – children dying in diseased heaps, infant sex for sale and gangs of armed bandits terrorizing the neighborhood.’
