    1. [GEN-EVENTS] Next Monday's Oxfordshire FHS meeting
    2. All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 28 April 2008 at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall, CD sales, exchange journals and the library. The subject of the talk is "Sulgrave Manor, preserving and projecting". This will be presented by Wendy Barnes. Sulgrave Manor is the ancestral home of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America. Sulgrave Manor itself dates from the mid-sixteenth century. The house and its grounds are now open to visitors, and I can say from personal experience that a visit represents a most enjoyable and relatively inexpensive day out. Wendy is part of Sulgrave Manor's Education Department, and will be talking to us about the house and its archives. Those wanting to know more about the house and its history in advance of the meeting should see Sulgrave Manor's splendid website at :- _http://www.sulgravemanor.org.uk/index.htm_ (http://www.sulgravemanor.org.uk/index.htm) All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
