All The next meeting of the Oxfordshire Family History Society will take place on Monday 19 May 2008 - that's a week earlier than normal due to the following week's Bank Holiday - 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 "Jermynology : how genealogy can change history", and this will be presented by Anthony Adolph. It is the story of Henry Jermyn, Earl of St Albans, the possible real father of Charles II, and of how Mr Adolph's research into Jermyn's life caused him to start doubting the traditionally-held views of Charles II's paternity. This led to our speaker writing a splendid book entitled "Full of Soup and Gold : the Life of Henry Jermyn". And there is an Oxford connection too, as Jermyn lived in Oxford during the Civil War ! Our speaker Anthony Adolph is a professional genealogist, writer and broadcaster, author of Collins' "Tracing Your Family History" and numerous books Scottish, Irish and House history. His broadcasting credits include Channel 4's "Extraordinary Ancestors" and Radio 4's "Meet the Descendants". Mr Adolph has a splendid website at _www.anthonyadolph.co.uk_ (http://www.anthonyadolph.co.uk/) , which has a detailed section about Jermyn and the writing of the book. All members, potential members and their guests are welcome.
