Thanks Lucy.... I am listening to the first podcast of several. I am afraid I will be hooked. I am the 9th great-grandaughter of John Wildes, husband of Sarah Averell Wildes. My interest was renewed recently (this last week) when I sorted out some bad data I had on my gedcom. - I used to think I was related to Bridget Playfer Wasselbe Oliver Bishop, but all the Edward Bishops formerly confused me. Now I see it is a relation to Sarah Averell Wildes by marriage to John. So I am hoping these podcasts will help me with getting more context. Thanks for posting!!
Another great resource I found on Edward and Bridget Bishop was this article (I don't have copy of original article but found it quoted online elsewhere):
