Monthly Open Meeting



This months speaker is Ben Nicholls about The Devil's Daughter and Me”

Ben Nicholls writes:
“It turns out I'm descended from the devil which explains a lot! Having discovered my own family history, it's been enlightening to find out I'm
in good company.

Let me show you the underside of Victorian respectability through the eyes of some of my ancestors with a devilish streak. There’s Aaron who broke with his religion to be with the woman he loved. And Caroline whose passions for a dashing Parisian left her in disgrace.

Then we'll travel to Mexico City and see what the Inquisitors make of my non-conforming relatives there. And finally, we'll meet the Devil’s daughter herself…” - This is a follow-up to Ben’s talk in February last year “Finding my Grandad’s Global Family”.
