Hi Jeff, I live in the U.S., so I can't attend!😒. I'm stuck on a few things in my
tree and would like to know if you can suggest a local researcher or genealogist I could
contact?
My family lived in the Forest of Dean area and my grandfather mentioned the family had
also lived in Glamorgan, but I've been unable to locate them there. I would appreciate
your help. Thank you
