My DAVIES line came from Pembrokeshire when my great grandmother Martha
Susan DAVIES married and moved to Caio. It is only a small Carmarthenshire
connection although my Grandmother and most of her siblings were born in
Caio.
Helen (she's on the list) has other DAVIES connections with Caio.
Sorry I can't be of any more help
