How did Family Tree magazine UK start?
Former paramedic and fish & chip shop owner Michael Armstrong, founder of Family Tree, had thought long and hard about starting a family history magazine. He was a keen family historian himself, and had made enquiries among those involved in the family history scene at the time, to see whether it would be an idea well-received.
On launch, the first issue of Family Tree (November/December – it was to be bi-monthly initially) was a 32-page publication costing 85p.
