About the
Mish Holman
Mish Holman has been a professional genealogist for over 30 years and the owner of 5* reviewed Family History Gifts. She studied the discipline as a postgraduate at the University of Strathclyde. For over a decade she has had an interest in theatrical personalities of the eighteenth-century and in particular hereditary theatre families, this resulted in the creation of a blog about Abraham Adcock, Handel's last great trumpeter (www.abrahamadcock.com). Other interests include 19th century institutional governance and the sociology of the census. Mish has written posts and articles for a number of blogs and for Family Tree Magazine. Her current work in progress is 'Recording the Nations,' detailing the work and lives of the census enumerators, which will be published by Pen & Sword.
