Beth, and everyone.
I'm pleased to see we May have a new member! Let's keep searching for new
members...just be certain they acutally have lines that lived at the farm
Fron Goch and not just the village or the area. I've had several
requests/inquiries to join who only know the village name or have Bala
connections. Many people, of course, seem to not understand the surnaming
system and think their Roberts, Davies, Evans, etc. are connected to us.
Let's continue to educate these researchers so they can be successful.
As the list has been so very quiet, I am guessing/hoping many of you are in
the libraries <G>! If like me, you are more than busy with work, the
holidays, and life in general.
By this coming spring, I do plan to get very serious about going to Wales,
again. I know I've been quite vocal about all this and most of you are
either not interested or quite tired of me encouraging you to go <G>!
Forgive my enthusiasm. I just wish all of you could come as I think the
area is very nice and so much of Wales relates directly to us. I will
start gathering costs, etc. then. Do let me know if any of you are
planning to go or are curious as to the costs. I'd love to meet you, even
for a few days. I'm considering either renting a car at Heathrow or going
by train to a closer big city and renting a car there (Could be cheaper!
<G>). I'd like to spend at least one week or more in Wales. I'm scheduled
to go to Ireland to meet a friend for a week, as well. My schedule
dictates that my trip will be in July. I could go the first of Aug if I go
to Ireland before Wales.
Again, i have more photos of the farm --inside and out, if anyone is
interested. Hopefully, I will get better ones upon my return.
Goal: Taking a course in creating Webpages and getting this one online!
I'll start writing text over the break and before the house remodeling
starts! <G>
Let's hear of new books, sites, etc. that could be helpful to us....and to
increasing my library! <G>
Take care,
Emily
