Ancestry research proves popular
Tracing the branches of a family tree has become a popular pastime for many Britons, the National Trust says.
Of 2,000 Britons surveyed by the trust, 56% knew about their family history beyond their grandparents.
Women were more likely to know about their ancestors, while people aged between 35 and 44 showed the most interest in genealogy.
