Folks, If you want to listen to the recording, I suspect you will only get the previous one until tomorrow's comes on air. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/ and scroll down to nearly the bottom of the page. In the 'Listen to the latest programmes' column (2nd column from left), in alphabetical order, look for 'What Did your ancestors do for a living' Like I said, this is a series of 5 programmes, on each day this week. You will need Realplayer installed to listen in Neil > -----Original Message----- > From: Rosemary Probert [mailto:banbury@prob.freeserve.co.uk] > Sent: 08 November 2004 02:32 > To: ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [BAN] Series on What Did Your Ancestors Do For A Living > > > Hi All, > > This sounds like an interesting short series on Radio 4 starting > this afternoon.
