Wedgwood Family History Portal
The Wedgwood Family History
project has had a web presence since 1996. The old site, hosted from 1996-2009
by Geocities has had to be closed due
to the cessation of free website provision by their parent company Yahoo!
This new site is part of a package
of genealogical resources, which will, when migration is complete, incorporate both
genealogical and biographical data. The matrix below will be expanded as
content is added.

The award-winningWedgwood Museum is run by an
independent trust. A New museum experience (including expanded public
exhibition and access to the huge Wedgwood archive including papers relating
to the family dating from the middle ages) was opened at the end of 2009. It
is an excellent museum and very much deserves of our support.
