Start Your Family Tree Week:
31 December
It's time to find out about the lives your family led.
How were they living in 1911? How many people in how many rooms? Had any children died?
What did they do for a living in 1901 and 1911? This helpful occupations guide on the ScotlandsPeople website is very handy for finding out what different occupations involved.
You could also search 4 million historical newspaper pages online at the newly launched British Newspaper Archive to see if your ancestors made it into the local or regional press.
