Hi Jane-
As we are dealing with some very common first and last names, the chances
are slim that we are connected, but here goes.
Richard Hughes, born in North Wales (approx 1845), came to America (date
unknown) and settled in Ohio. The 1880 census has him living in Madison,
Jackson County, with his wife, Mary, their son Joseph, and Mary's mother,
Mary Thomas. I have Mary Senior's birth as about 1810 in Wales (town
unknown). I do not know her maiden name. Mary Thomas, Junior was born about
1846 in Ohio, exact location unknown. This is all I have on the Thomas
family. I don't suppose any of it is familiar?

Hi Corinne
I thought I'd post this to the list, as others might be interested. Didn't
find anything at our State Library re. your Staffordshire folk, etc., but I
noted you had a reference to Cardiff, Glamorganshire. Checked the available
records here and there are some memorial indexes (books) of St. Brides
Super-Ely, Ebeneezer Congregationalist, Cardiff with a couple of Evans
listed; St. George Super-Ely, Cardiff with 13 Evans listed; Michaelston,
Super-Ely, Cardiff with no Evans listed. Then there are some microfiche
records of St. John Cardiff 1813-1841; Marriage Index, 10 fiches, but
doesn't say what they are, just Glamorganshire, and 7 fiche of Baptisms &
Burials, again no title, just Glamorganshire. Any use? I can do a check for
anyone, but will need some specifics.

Hi all
This is a crossing of lists. But I am posting this to give heart and
encouragement to any who may be feeling a little low and who have not had
much in the way of return mail on their family tree. If you stick with a
list long enough, something is bound to break through. I have found this on
various Wales lists and also the Shropshire list probably about five times
now in relation to finding living relatives - and all this within the space
of two years of being on the internet. This is quite staggering. How could
you otherwise locate living relatives on the other side of the world -
certainly not through the usual snail mail, or through newspapers! Stick
with it, dear friends, you will find a breakthrough if you hang in there
long enough. What you have to remember is that there are probably folk out
there researching your own names but that they may have previously put
their enquiries out in years past or even have yet to do so. I suspect that
some of my own relatives out there in limbo-land may have done their
research back in the 1950s-70s and because no one was responding in those
days, decided that all were dead. Comes the new generation, and they, the
younger ones, will eventually hop onto internet genealogy. It may be five
years, it may be ten, but the odds are that one or two persons at least who
are connected with one or more of your family branches will put their
interests on the internet in due time. If I can find five within the short
time of two years, surely you should be able to find at least one or two,
or hopefully more. Never give up. Never say die. Never think for one moment
that there are no relatives out there waiting to be found. Look at this.

I would be interested in where your ROGERS were from. Mine were originally
from Buttington circa 1790s and Welshpool to 1870s, moved to Wrexham up to
early to mid 1900s, and had earlier connections with Forden, Montgomeryshire.

I am still trying to find information on Jacob Morgan b. about 1829 . He was
from Nanty Glo. m. Maryann Lloyd b. 4/1/1840 father was William Lloyd,
mother Mary. I would like to find out if there are any siblings to either of
these people. They were married Nov 29.1857 at Rhymney, Monmouthshire Co.
Wales, in the Protestant "Church Of England." The bans were published by
William Evans, the Preacher. There were Children of this union:
William b. 2/27/1858 d. 9/11/1878,
Maryann II b. 6/9/1860 d. 11/12/1864
Jacob II b. 6/20/1866 d. 2/18/1869
Margaret b. 7/4/1868 d. 4/19/1935
Maryann III b. 5/3/1869 d. 12/3/1932
John b. 3/9/1872 d. 12/5/1944
Lydia b. 10/14/1874 d. 10/15/1940
If some kind soul has the ability to find any information on these families I
would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I,m new to the list and would like to post my first surname in Wales.
I'm hopeful there will be many more to come !
I am looking for the family of William M. Thomas born June 3 1835 in
Cariganshire, South Wales. His family had lived there for many generations.
William came to America through Quebec Canada in 1857 with some friends. He
went to Youngstown, Mahoning Co., Ohio and lived there until 1867 when he
and family moved to Montcalm Co., Mi. He married in Ohio, Julia A Stewart in
1858. They had 7 children including..Ormond (my husbands greatgrandfather),
Myron, Mary, Willis, Gilbert, Jay Bentley, and Lelia.
I am excited to be on a new leg of a journey of searching for my husbands'
Thomas's. I had been up against a brick wall for a long time !

>family history research that are unique to Wales. Originally published by
>the
>Association of Family History Societies of Wales, it is considered the
>best
>book ever written on Welsh genealogy. It is certainly a very
>comprehensive
>handbook, with over twenty chapters treating the essential elements of
>Welsh
>genealogy. Each of the chapters is written by a specialist and is
>designed to
>guide the reader through the pitfalls and challenges of Welsh family
>history
>research. Chapters include: Archives in Wales, Family History Societies
>of
>Wales, Parish Registers, Civil Registration and the Census,
>Nonconformity,
>Surnames of Wales, Place Names, Basic Welsh for Family Historians, the
>IGI
>for Wales, Estate Records, Maritime Records, Wills, Education, and
>Parochial
>Records, Court Records, and Manuscript and Printed Pedigrees. For this
>new
>second edition, each author was given the opportunity to update his or
>her text in the light of recent developments, particularly in the area of
>local government and archives. While this has led to significant changes
>in a number of chapters, the aims and objectives of the first edition
>have been carefully preserved.

>Anyone who has had any success in researching their Welsh ancestry will
>know that a grasp of specialized Welsh genealogical methods and sources
>is only one of several factors that contributed to that success. They
>will know, for example, how important it is in Welsh research to have
>some understanding of the social, cultural, religious, and economic
>background of the communities in which those ancestors lived. This book
>attempts to broaden that understanding, especially for the period prior
>to 1800 when most researchers begin to experience difficulties. In
>addition, it aims to make readers more aware of some little-known sources
>and the special uses that may be applied to the information found in
>these sources. The book follows the format of the Rowlands' highly
>successful Welsh Family History and is a compendium of contributions by
>experts in different fields. Both books have their origins in the
>residential courses in family history offered at the University of Wales,
>Aberystwyth, since 1986, and, although there is some overlap in the time
>periods considered within the two books, there is virtually no
>duplication of content. Apart from chapters dealing with aspects of
>community life, there are chapters relating to different occupations,
>surnames, old documents, maps, estate records, and family histories (the
>Vaughans of Trawsgoed, the Pugh family of Llanfair and Llanbedr, the
>Lloyds of Ty Newydd, Moris Reignald, Titus Jones, and "Baron" Lewis
>Owen).

Some years back a friend of mine, for whom I had done some considerable
research for the Isle of Wight very kindly presented me with "Welsh Family
History: A Guide to Research," edited by John Rowlands and others, 1993
edition. If the more modern versions are anything like this, then they will
indeed be valuable resource books for Welsh family historians. I can only
recommend them immensely to researchers.
For Victorian (Australia) researchers, the State Library of Victoria has
them on its shelves. By the way, check out their new catalogue. It is
amazing. I typed in the word "Welsh," and it came up with 1051 books with
that word in the title! I am progressively working my way through the index
- am up to 301 at present, long way to go. Some cute books (locked away in
the upstairs stack) that I had a look at were "Immortal sails: a story of a
Welsh port and some of its ships," which depicted most of the ships in and
out of Portmadog (or Portmadoc); "Modern English-Welsh letter writer: for
the use of ladies and gentlemen 1897," very amusing with its standard
letter from a gentleman breaking it off with his young lady who had been
indiscreet, in Welsh and English; and "Land of my Fathers: a Welsh gift
book 1915," which was produced in that year with all the proceeds going to
the use of the Welsh battalions. In "subject" mode the catalogue when
receiving the word "Welsh" popped up my little rag "Genetree," which was a
delightful surprise. For anyone who is curious about the massive collection
of books the SLV holds you can access the catalogue on-line at
http://catalogue.slv.vic.gov.au but I might warn you, several hours later
you could still be browsing, having lost complete track of time!
