    1. [GEN-EVENTS] Last Monday's Oxfordshire FHS meeting
    2. Readers On Monday evening, those who attended the Oxfordshire FHS meeting were privileged to hear Anthony Adolph present a talk entitled "Jermynology : how genealogy can change history". This was 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". Those who are interested in the subject but missed the meeting should note that :- 1. Mr Adolph's website at _www.anthonyadolph.co.uk_ (http://www.anthonyadolph.co.uk/) has a detailed section about Jermyn and the writing of the book. This includes more about Jermyn's story, and the images with which our speaker illustrated Monday's talk. 2. a "podcast" of the talk can be downloaded from _http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/rss/podcasts.xml_ (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/rss/podcasts.xml) and listened to via your PCs speakers, MP3 player or iPod. This is not Monday's presentation, but a talk given by Mr Adolph on the same subject on a previous occasion. Hence, those who missed out can now listen to the talk, read more about it and look at the pictures. Enjoy !
