In today’s episode, Emma Cox dove into her family legacy to explore stories woven through our shared Anglophone history.
Stories associated with The Most Reverand William Markham, archbishop of York, took us from Westminster Abbey plaques to tombs without bones. As with these programs, Emma’s insights help us all learn how to separate fact from fiction and use her stories to help us in our research.
Emma’s graciously shared her slides as PDF files. Note the many underlined text references on each slide. These are active links to external resources such as the Church of England Database, the History of Parliament Online, and the Napoleon Series for its military database and other useful resources.
In her discussion, Emma also mentioned a recent Journeys Into Genealogy podcast episode, “The Prize Papers with Anne Ramon,” which discussed English naval ships and the privateers they battled in the Atlantic.
