The first steps in Family History usually centre upon finding census entries, Birth,
Marriage and Death certificates, etc
But for most of us, this isn't enough. In one form or another we ask
[I am] wondering how to put 'meat on the bones'.
All I have at the moment are names and dates, and I have no idea where to start when finding a 'story' about my ancestors.
One way is to find out more about the social history of the period when your ancestors lived.
Here is a list of some the RootsChat topics supplying information about
Social History Resources for the U.K.
These topics include some information on social history, too,
but they are mainly a collection of resources, i.e. Books and Web-Links
You can find more by using the Search RootsChat button at the top of every page.
