Progress already, thanks to nana helping out a newbie.
I even learned about the ship that my grandfather Cyril sailed on.
I have not found informaiton on his parents though other than names. And I
must admit to Anne Lintworth that the name Rees is familiar but I do not
know if they are related.
I have a request in with someone in Abertillery to see if I can find some
more info on Samuel and Emily.
Thanks to all and if anyone finds more let me know.
Thanks
Keith Bevan

Hello Keith,
You must be new to this or you'd have been to the
Ellis Island site like a shot. I found your Cyril
with Mom & Dad on the Sept 3, 1923 docking of the
Levianthan from South Hampton.
This was an unusual entry. It appeared twice, once
handwritten and the other typed. There were small
discrepancies. Anyway, Cyril was 12 years old, father
Samuel was 45 on handwritten but 43yr 8mo on typed.
Mother Emily was 30 yr on handwritten, but 39 on
typed. Also, the handwritten said they were going to
a friend, Mr. David in Nanticoke, PA, but the typed
had to Uncle Wm. Dtkens 119 Orchard S Nanticoke, PA.
I don't suppose you know who Mr David is do you? My
maiden name is David and my grandfather was born in
Wales. Also, his grandmother's maiden name was Bevan.
Grandpa came over in 1899.
Nan David Ramsey
