We’re delighted to welcome
back to Projectkin for this monthly series. You’ll know Emma for her two Substack publications, one, named My Family History where she shares stories from her tree, and the other is the acclaimed podcast:
For Projectkin, Emma dove into two particular names in her family tree, Rosalinda and Gylby. They are both unusual names, yet they criss-cross her tree, revealing pedigree collapse and unexpected connections. I hope you enjoy her story.
For our reference, Emma has kindly shared the slides from her talk:
As tools, Emma referenced not only Getty Images and a private tree on Ancestry, but also:
The ad-supported site, Free BMD (for Births, Marriages, and Deaths for the UK from 1836 to 1999) at FreeBMD.org.uk
British Newspapers Archive at BritishNewspaperArchive.co.uk
UnitHistories.com for military information about Gylby’s nephew
