Was your ancestor an alien? And we don't mean from space! In the past, many immigrants to the UK were recorded as aliens.
Discover what an alien was, how it changed over time and who were recorded or classed as aliens. What did it mean to be called an alien and especially so in a time of war and political unrest. We look at internment through the First and Second World Wars and the pitfalls for this research and how you might overcome obstacles. We will be highlighting a mixture of genealogical and historical records and sources, in addition to other useful considerations.
