My grandfather, Llewellyn Davis, may have been born in Varteg abt. 1839. His
father, also Llewellyn, was a coal miner. At one time, before emigrating to
the USA in 1850/51, the family lived in Merthyr Tydvil. My hope is to
document my grandfather's birth.
Also, I believe there is a publication on the village of Varteg. If so, I
would very much like to know how to go about purchasing a copy.

I also had ancestors b. Varteg in the 19th Century. The following link is
to a Local History Society for that area, and has further links to
publications:
_Abersychan and Garndiffaith Local History Group - Industrial History_
