How to find out what your ancestors did in the First World War

We Will Remember them has been released in the run up to Remembrance Day, and provides tips on how to find out what your ancestors did in the war along with advice for those who don’t know where to start.

Production and printing of the booklet - which is available to buy in all North Yorkshire libraries for £1 - was funded by the Craven and the First World War project, a Heritage Lottery Fund community partnership based in Skipton.

County Councillor Greg White said: “North Yorkshire libraries offer a wealth of information both on their shelves and online to help people delve into their family’s history. This booklet will be particularly helpful at a time when more of us could be looking back to consider the sacrifice and heroism that may be found in our own families.”
