Today’s episode sent us back down a warren of rabbit holes as Emma explored her extraordinary family with revelations uncovered from an experiment with FamilySearch’s new full-text search features. This came about following Emma’s interview with Lucy Reynoldson from FamilySearch for her Journeys into Genealogy podcast. Here’s a preview:

Today, Emma’s story focused on her Fonblanque family, which has Huguenot roots in France. As she explains at the top of the program, she discovered a treasure trove of letters, family trees, and more buried in the body of a related family history book. Below you’ll find the slides Emma so generously makes a practice of sharing.

Below are the resources and references mentioned in the presentation and during our discussion.
