Hi Helen, Yes Steeple Claydon is lovely & my daughters home is right next to farm land which I believe is owned by the National Trust. The view is fantastic, looking across towards Buckingham. Vivienne

The most comprehensive list of Family History Fairs and other genealogy events that I know of can be seen here, remove brackets. http://geneva.weald(.)org.uk/ The B.B.C. Radio stations will be holding events all over the country on 11th & 12th February to coincide with the ending of the series 'Who do you thin you are' check your local B.B.C. radio station to see if there's an event being held in your area. There's a very large fair at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley on 12th, February, that's going to be a very large event. Regards Ron www.genealogyprinters(.)com

I might try the Feb 18th Kidlington Fair also - not sure yet. P.S. It's a small world, Vivienne; my brother's in-laws farm in Steeple Claydon - nice place!

Hi Fi & Paul, As I said on Fi's thread, it's on the way to my daughters, in Steeple Claydon, Paul, so I will be there for a couple of hours. I'm planning to get there when it opens, so I hope to see you there. Vivienne
