Colleagues The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 24 November 2008. It will be held at the usual venue at Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. Doors open at 7.15 pm for coffee, help with both genealogy and computers, and the bookstall. The subject of the talk at 8.00pm is "Brothers In War – discovering one family’s extraordinary sacrifice in the Great War", which will be presented by Michael Walsh. Ninety years ago, widow Amy Beechey was presented to King George V as the "mother who gave five sons" in the Great War. Amy and the lost Beechey boys were soon forgotten. But the discovery of a small brown case in a Devon attic in 2002 revealed a remarkable legacy of one family’s extraordinary sacrifice... Our speaker Michael Walsh is a freelance journalist living in Ducklington, Oxfordshire. "Brothers in War" was his first book - you can read more about the book and its author at :- _http://www.rbooks.co.uk/product.aspx?id=0091908841_ (http://www.rbooks.co.uk/product.aspx?id=0091908841) All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
