Everyone would like to go back in time and meet their ancestors or at least have a peek into their world.

You may have even watched the TV show chasing down celebrities' infamous predecessors.

If you are intrigued to find out who came before you and what their life was like we can show you how to trace your roots and start making your own family tree come to life, even with the bare minimum of information to go on.

In our 4 part series we are giving away 4 booklets every day from Monday 5th March to Thursday 8th March with the Belfast Telegraph showing how to research your history and what life was like 100 years ago. We also follow local people as they discover their past and how it impacted on how their life has turned out.

Then on Friday 9th March with the Belfast Telegraph we are giving away a free poster which will allow you to fill in your own family tree. Plus on Saturday 10th March we have an exclusive reader offer in paper for the genealogical website genesreunited.co.uk
