Sporting Ancestors (eBook, ePUB)

Tracing Your Family's Athletic Past

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From Victorian diarists listing boat-and horse-race results to war diarists mentioning organised games of football, cricket and tennis to the discovery of watch chains with Edwardian cricket medals attached, our family histories are littered with amateur or professional sporting references. Sport, in its many forms, is an important part of our heritage. It opens up a whole new range of sources for the family historian: minute books where teams were chosen and lists of competitors stored, match-day programmes, correspondence and club histories, newspaper reports, team photographs and cartoons. With London hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, interest in and exposure to sport is likely to increase dramatically, and Sporting Ancestors is the essential guide for anyone wanting to discover how sport figures in their own family history.
