Your Stories: Back to my roots – a family history from...
What starts as a simple curiosity about family roots quickly becomes a powerful journey of connection, identity, and pride. Believing himself Welsh through and through, the writer uncovers a rich North Shields heritage stretching back centuries — shipyard workers, barbers, and everyday lives full of character. Through names, memories, and stories passed down, a picture forms of a place never visited but deeply felt. This is more than genealogy; it’s a homecoming to a history that still lives on today.
