Young Roots
A project for Young People to explore their cultural history and make a permanent record of what they want other people to know about them and their families. All of the family stories on this site have been written by the young people and detail their unique stories in a way that is relevant to them. The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Funds Young Roots programme. Enjoy! |
