Perhaps you have discovered a famous Olympic Medalist, WW2 Hero, film star or TV presenter in your family? More likely great-grandparents who struggled to bring up a family of ten kids against all the odds. Or are you descended from an immigrant family with your ancestors spread all around the world ? Or maybe all three?

Why not enter this new FFHS competition sponsored by thegenealogist.co.uk and Your Family History (Wharncliffe Publishing Ltd)?
