Today’s episode was a fun romp through one incredible family line. Emma’s thoughtful examination of roots and shoots of the line yield unexpected connections that take us from a dashing young Formula 1 driver to the Queen Mother. Emma's generously provided the slides to her talk including even richer resources than are linked below.

The slides include a dazzling array of links anyone can use. I pull out the most significant ones you can follow along with the video:

Resources

* Wikipedia. Emma gave the example of the page for Sir. John Mosley, but in our discussion we talked about

* How anyone can actually create or edit a wikipedia page once they’ve created an account.

* How valuable it can be to explore the resources listed on any Wikipedia page.

* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_John_Mosley,_1st_Baronet

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolleston_Hall

* History of Parliament. A useful resource if you know or think you have someone with a role in the British parliament.

* historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1790-1820/member/wigram-robert-i-1744-1830

* Historic Shipping. For family members who might have had interests in shipping or to explore transport history.

* historic-shipping.co.uk/robwigram/The%20Wigram%20Family.html

* After a sidebar on the Queen Mother we discovered connections to Formula 1 drivers, Wedgwood, Charles Darwin, the rise of fascism in Germany and with respect to tools, the Internet Archive
