House GRAHAM: From the Antonine Wall to the Temple of Hymen [Premium Edition]

A new survey of the mythos and history of the Grahams through the ages.

Are you a Graham, Graeme, Grame, Grimes or de Giresme? Or a Nethery? Or perhaps a Jordan, Johnson or Noble whose Y-chromosomal DNA has a distinctive Graham haplotype (J1 / J-M267)? Or are you related to such families through your family tree? If so, this book is for you!

Illustrated in colour throughout, it provides a fresh survey of the mythos and history of the Grahams through the ages, including the familyÕs origins, heraldry, heroes and villains. Genetic genealogy is used to untangle the familyÕs origin myths and main branches, encompassing both the noble house of Montrose and the bandit ÒreiversÓ of the Anglo-Scottish border. The heady mix of history and science is complemented by an original Ð and at times irreverent Ð biographical examination of some illustrious and nefarious Grahams, ranging from knights and generals whose battlefield exploits are immortalised in verse to the inventors of the sexually supercharged Celestial Bed and its nemesis, the libido-crushing Graham cracker.
