Hi Connie & Jenny,
I have a Matilda Dando in a distant part of my tree. I know nothing about
her background but she would have been born in the 1860s. In 1888 she
married John Chilton and they lived at Brynmawr in Llanelly Parish.
Do either of you have a Matilda?

The oldest Dando I have is my Great Great Grandfather, James Dando
who was
born in Vartage, Wales - 4 Apr 1839. His parents were:William Dando and
Elizabeth Jeffries.
In 1857 he married one Sarah Price who was born in Blaen Avon, Wales. (my
mistake.)
They were married in Somerset Co., Pennsylvania and then moved to
Frostburg,
Maryland.
James Dando apparantly came to this country with his parents..
He lived and died in Allegany County Maryland. At the time he came here
he
joined the other Welsh miners for a while. Then he got a better job as
bookeeper for the Consolidated Mines (run by the Vanderbelts. )
Are we cousins?
