Housing the nation |
 |
T he July issue in which we focus on property, housing and the home, is now published.
We look at the problems of housing the nation, from the humble rural hovel and the city slum to the advent of social housing and home ownership. We also delve into the world of the poor laws, the workhouse and almhouses.
Even though Family Tree Forum is a genealogical forum, the help and advice on offer is not just for research and possible useful resources. The latest article in 'Spotlight on FTF' looks at how we can help you with your computer queries, whether it be using family history software, or everyday problems such as using the forum, how to scan a photo or installing new hardware.
