Description: A practical guide to researching those ancestors who may have faced discrimination due to their own misfortune or society's judgement on their circumstances.
Brief description: Janet Few is an author and educator who has been on a quest to uncover and preserve the stories of her ancestors since she was a child. She has a particular interest in those who are overlooked by history and is a co-founder of the A Few Forgotten Women project, which seeks to tell the stories of marginalised women.
Review Quotes: "Janet Few provides the reader with a glimpse of the historical and social background which informed various prejudices, anxieties and discriminatory behaviours that the people she writes about experienced. As she points out, the book is not intended to be a complete guide to researching every individual topic, but seeks instead to provide context and to offer extensive further reading and research possibilities."-- "The Local Historian, Vol. 54, No. 3"
