Could some kind person translate this for me? It is taken from the
ebook
titled Cartrefi Cymur by Owen M. Edwards.Some of my ancestors lived
at
Caer Gai, Llanywchllyn and I wondered if this is the same
place.JaneVII.--CAER GAI.--CARTREF UCHELWYR.
Hen balas Rhufeinig yw Caer Gai, ar fryncyn heulog uwch ben Llyn
Tegid, yn nyffryn uchaf y Ddyfrdwy.
Yr oedd y Fychaniaid, hen deulu Caer Gai, yn enwog am eu hathrylith.
Y ddau fwyaf adnabyddus ohonynt ydyw Gwerfyl Fychan a Rowland
Fychan. Yn amser y Rhyfel Mawr yr oedd Rowland Fychan yn byw, a
Gwerfyl dipyn yn gynt.
