In the last couple of years when researching my family history I have
becaome very aware of the vulnerability of memorial stones through
weathering and plant growth which can lead to valuable evidence of our
ancestors being lost to us. I know that efforts are being made to record
this information but already in some cases it is too late. I have started
to copy the inscriptions in the small churchyard in Tirabad and my husband
is taking photographs of the headstones. If there is anyone who has a
family member buried there but cannot visit in person, we shall be happy to
provide you with what information there is.
There have been some recent postings on this list regarding Llywel names.
From Tirabad we often take the road over the Eppynt which comes out by
Llywel church and we could stop on our way and photograph a headstone of
particular interest there.
We would do the same for Llangammarch. However I would stress that we would
need to know that the person or family was definitely buried at these
places.
Unfortunately we do not have any Breconshire family burials in our own
history but have been very grateful for help given to us by rootsweb list
members in other counties in the UK and would like to reciprocate in some
way!
