Genealogy in 'Conspiracy of Secrets'

The last of the pile of books we took as stock - sold!

Who Do You Think You Are?

It was a relief to discover that a professional genealogist rates the genealogical research I did in the writing of my book, Conspiracy of Secrets.

In the book I trace the origins of my stepfather whose past was very carefully concealed and I discovered that he was the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Asquith and the much younger, Venetia Stanley, his daughter's best friend.

When you attend something as extraordinary as the Who Do YOu Think You Are? LIVE show and find Olympia heaving with professionals and experts... and the investigative methods you used in your research are what they do for a living, it is quite daunting! Anyway, I booked a stall at the WDYTYA? Live show and last weekend laden with stock, I went to sell my book and spread the word. I had a wonderful three days there and you can read about it on my book's Facebook Page - do visit me there!

So I was delighted to be contacted by professional genealogist, Roy Stockdill who tells me that my genealogy was spot on. You can read Roy's wonderful blog posts here:- Roy Stockdill blog post. Thank you, Roy!

You can just see me, hard at work at Olympia, in this picture. I am the figure in pale blue, standing to the left of a man in a suit, about an inch from the top, pretty much in the centre of the frame.
