	Just to let you know that there is a programme every wednesday (13.30) on Radio 4 called tracing your roots. It covers lots of different queries from listeners and is superior to WDYTYA. This week the programme focused on Irish ancestry, last week military records and prior to that Jewish ancestry. Take a look at the webpage on the BBC. The programme is available on listen again and also podcast.
