Dear Nina
You don't say which part of Wales your PRICEs come from. I don't have many
ancestors from Radnor - and they are one of my most difficult lines. I am
descended from PROBERTs in Nantmel. My other Welsh ancestors are from the
south.
Best wishes with your PRICEs - that is one name which hasn't cropped up in
my family YET!
Anne

Thanks for your message Anne: I am truly caught in the middle of
this as
I
have a Welsh grandmother and an English grandfather and they were
married
to
each other! Life is bound to be interesting with that kind of a gene
pool.
I shall probably be bringing up more controversial topics as I search
for
my
grandmother's roots. Her name was Mary Ann PRICE, daughter of
Thomas
PRICE
and Susannah [?]
Thank you this site and all the help it gives to so many,
Regards, Nina Czaban
