Packed with images of original travel ephemera from my own collection, this book is ideal if you have ever wanted to understand more about your
ancestor’s sea travels, or discover what life was like aboard ship for both passengers and
crew. Covering how long a journey might have taken, what kind of conditions could be expected
and what exotic locations were visited along the way?
From transportation to
trade, adventure to emigration, through persecution or for pleasure, I have explained the reasons behind our ancestor’s desire for overseas travel, guiding the reader through the records and archives we can search to complete our own genealogical
journey.
'Ancestors on the Move' is available in all good bookshops and online at Amazon, WHSmiths and at The National Archives Bookshop
