contents We consider two types of polynomials $F_n (x) = \sum_{ν=1}^n ν! S_2(n,ν) x^ν$ and $\hat{F}_n (x) = \sum_{ν=1}^n ν! S_2(n,ν) H_νx^ν$, where $S_2(n,ν)$ are the Stirling numbers of the second kind and $H_ν$ are the harmonic numbers. We show some properties and relations between these polynomials. Especially, the identity $\hat{F}_n (-\tfrac{1}{2}) = - (n-1)/2 \cdot F_{n-1} (-\tfrac{1}{2})$ is established for even $n$, where the values are connected with Genocchi numbers. For odd $n$ the value of $\hat{F}_n (-\tfrac{1}{2})$ is given by a convolution of these numbers. Subsequently, we discuss some of these convolutions, which are connected with Miki type convolutions of Bernoulli and Genocchi numbers, and derive some 2-adic valuations of them.

We consider two types of polynomials $F_n (x) = \sum_{ν=1}^n ν! S_2(n,ν) x^ν$ and $\hat{F}_n (x) = \sum_{ν=1}^n ν! S_2(n,ν) H_νx^ν$, where $S_2(n,ν)$ are the Stirling numbers of the second kind and $H_ν$ are the harmonic numbers. We show some properties and relations between these polynomials. Especially, the identity $\hat{F}_n (-\tfrac{1}{2}) = - (n-1)/2 \cdot F_{n-1} (-\tfrac{1}{2})$ is established for even $n$, where the values are connected with Genocchi numbers. For odd $n$ the value of $\hat{F}_n (-\tfrac{1}{2})$ is given by a convolution of these numbers.
