Our pre-Christmas event comprised family-history stories from two of our members …
"The Downfall of John Charles Tapner": Forty years of family history research led to settling on a one-name study of the surname TAPNER, and uncovering many, many stories. Amongst them was John Charles, the last person to be executed in Guernsey, in 1854.
"Coincidences": Whilst looking for the grave of a great-great-great-grandfather, I found another lead to take me to another branch of the family.
