Emma Explores… All the Twos: Celebrating 2 years of “Emma Explores” on Projectkin

<p>Thank you to <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/185449888-linda-teather">Linda Teather</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/34870574-helene-letters-from-labelle">Helene | Letters from LaBelle</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/17995040-christine-clark">Christine Clark</a>, and all of you following along with this recording. Your thoughtful engagement in <a target="_blank" href="http://substack.com/@journeysintogenealogy">Emma Cox’s</a> presentation today, the lively conversation that followed (and your comments below), are what make this such a special program.</p><p>Your generous ❤️s, restacks, and shares have helped turn this publication into the supportive community we all want to see.</p><p>These free programs are made possible by the generous support of our <a target="_blank" href="http://projectkin.org/patrons"><strong>Patrons</strong></a>. Learn more, <a target="_blank" href="http://projectkin.org/about"><strong>Projectkin.org/about</strong></a> & join us!</p><p>Plucked from Emma’s Family Tree</p><p>After a little break, <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/174917624-emma-journeys-into-genealogy">Emma - Journeys into Genealogy</a> is back with another creative twist on her family history. In this episode, Emma shares tantalizing bits of her workflow. She shared how she leverages the nearly 10,000 ancestors in her Family Tree Maker database to export a kinship report and explore over 1,500 second cousins. From that listing, she’s shared three of particular interest.</p><p>* Reginald Charles Edward Abbot, Lord Colchester 1842-1919 (Emma’s 2C5R)</p><p>* Joseph Stanley Holmes (Lord Dovercourt) 1878-1961 (2C2R)</p><p>* Ernest William Moir 1862-1933 1st Baron Whitehanger (2C3R)</p><p>* Charles Edward Littledale 1843-1918 (2C4R)</p><p>And why stop at cousins when you can have a second earl? (Don’t miss the castle on the hill.)</p><p>* Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent, 1350-97, half-brother of Richard II, King of England, and Emma’s 18th great-grandfather.</p><p>Lessons to be Found</p><p>There are always tips and techniques to be gleaned from Emma’s explorations. Probably the most significant from today’s program was the tip to appreciate the power of your gateway ancestors. This was a topic she’d explored in one of her very first Emma Explores programs.</p><p>While it’s easy to get distracted by the discovery of pedigreed ancestors with castles, a key benefit of your gateway connection is that those fancy pedigreed ancestors will have been carefully researched. If you can find even a second or more distant cousinship, the connection can get you a quick bounce-back in history.</p><p>In the US, the equivalent might be Revolutionary War or Mayflower ancestors. In Australia, we’ve talked about “Convict Royalty.” What is it in your region?</p><p>Other episodes in Episodes Emma mentioned in the introduction to the topic:</p><p></p><p>Patterns and names:</p><p></p><p>Maybe we’re related?</p><p>In our March Episode, just after <a target="_blank" href="http://rootstech.org/">RootsTech 2026</a>, Emma and I started a discussion about the <a target="_blank" href="http://familysearch.org/en/connect">Relatives at RootsTech</a> program, large relative counts, and the incredible value of learning from others attending. That’s all over now; however, the lessons learned linger. Did you know:</p><p>* In many cases, if you have a <a target="_blank" href="http://familysearch.org">FamilySearch</a> account and are logged in and viewing someone you are related to, you may have special access to view details on others who contributed to the profile. Tap the name, and you may discover a cousin:</p><p>If, during <a target="_blank" href="http://familysearch.org/en/connect">Relatives at RootsTech</a>, you had made contact with this person, perhaps through a shared ancestor, you’ll still be able to chat with them.</p><p>There’s more. If you’re interested in collaborating with others in our community, join us at <strong>Relative Finder</strong>. This does require a FamilySearch login and is really only as interesting as your FamilySearch profile is deep, but it can be a fun, open-source way to find connections across our community. Please visit the site and search Groups for “<strong>Projectkin</strong>.” You will have to request access, though it’s generally granted within 24 hours. If not, <a target="_blank" href="http://substack.com/@projectkin">drop me a message</a>.</p><p>In each of these programs, Emma generously shares both her slides and the resources she used to compile the presentation.
