Hi Susanna,
I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you; things are very busy at the moment.
My father was born in Brynmawr and his family came from all over historic Monmouthshire
over a long period.
Unfortunately, we always stayed with my cousin in Brynmawr, so I'm not a lot of help
on places to stay. I do know that there is a Premier Inn in Ebbw Vale, which is where
Gwent Archives is located. Here's the link to the website:
http://www.gwentarchives.gov.uk/
I'm interested in your quoting Joan Chittister, O.S.B. Does this mean that you are a
Catholic? I noticed the O.S.B. because I have four Benedictine Priests in my line, plus
six Jesuits and several members of other orders, both male and female.

Many thanks, Peter, for this information. My Great Grandparents, Susanna & William
Greenaway (and many before them) were from the Pontypool/Aberystruth/Brynmawr/Abergavenny
area. I have visited those areas only once and plan to return this year in early August. I
also plan to stay a day or so doing research in the Ebbw Vale National Archives, but
wonder if these archives are limited to just certain areas and perhaps I need to visit
other archival centers as well?
Greatly appreciate your assistance,Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Susanna Be a peaceful voice in a world that thinks everything is accomplished by force.

Hi Anne and Clive,
Further to your recent posts, it may interest you to know that the website of the MonGenes
Family History group has an interesting article entitled 'Crime & Punishment in
Monmouthshire'. Josephine Doe, one of our Co-owners, carried out the research to
produce this page and did the web design.
You can find the website here:
www.mongenes.org.uk <
http://www.mongenes.org.uk>
Then click on the 'Crime & Punishment' tab just below the 'Welcome'
tab. Access to this article is free to all.
Also, there are Usk Prisoner Receiving records in our searchable database covering
1871-76. Some Calendar of Prisoners Records (Sessions & Assizes) for the period
1828-1839, 1839-1859 have now been transcribed.
MonGenes is Dedicated to Monmouthshire Genealogy.
Parish Registers, Memorial Inscriptions, Wills, Workhouse Records, Monmouthshire men in
the armed forces, Crime & Punishment, Mining Disasters together with 17th-18th Century
Manorial Records are just some of the projects we are working on at the moment.
Still very much in its infancy - our aim is to make MonGenes the first stop for
Monmouthshire Family History Research. Our Searchable Database containing over 416,000
entries. At present all of these records are freely available to MonGenes Yahoo Group
Members for private genealogy and family history research. No commercial use is
permitted.
