Many Family Historians in this part of the woods will be familiar with Ceri
Griffith's book "Achau ac Ewyllysiau Teuluoedd De Sir Gaernarfon". (The
Genealogy and Wills of South Caernarfonshire Families). The author has now published
a follow up volume.
"Achau rhai o deuluoedd hen siroedd Caernarfon, Meirionydd a Threfaldwyn"
(The Genealogy of some of the old families of Caernarfonshire, Merionethshire and
Montgomeryshire)
It is privately published by the Author
T. Ceiri Griffith, Gaerddu Fawr, Chwilog, Pwllheli. Gwynedd. LL53 6SY
Tel : 01766 810 371
The price including P & P is £31.50 from the UK (£40.50 USA & Canada and
£42.50 Australia & New Zealand)
The main contents of the book features some 256 family tree tables which
follow on from the first volume but which extend the research wider than the scope
of the original into whole of Caernarfonshire, Merionethshire and
Montgomeryshire.
It includes an index of houses, references to articles and details of some
300 wills which have been consulted in the research.
Only 1,000 copies have been printed and over 300 have been sold already, so
early ordering is advised.
Although the book is nominally in the Welsh Language, as the family tree
tables and the lists of Wills contain mainly names dates and addresses most of the
book will be accessible to those who do not speak Welsh.
I have no financial or other interest in this publication other than an
interest in its content as an aid to family history research in the area covered by
this list
All the best
