Hello fellow historians and history enthusiasts.

Long story short, I’m a Brit with partial French ancestry. Mostly farmers and sailors from Brittany. I have a pretty good understanding of the Ancien Regime and what life would have been like for my family back then. However, what I’m less clear about is how the revolution would have changed their daily lives, the expectations of them as citizens, what sort of social changes they may have seen first hand. I’d love to be enlightened!
