Hi Everyone, Very many thanks to all who replied to my plea for contact with the Davies Listers, I am really pleased that so many of you took the time and trouble to respond! I can see from the volume of replies that there are a lot of helpful and kind people out there, and I'm looking forward to belonging to this list, and in return, perhaps assisting others where I can. Many folks mentioned that they have traced their families back to Wales, you all probably know already about the roostwebs lists which exist for various regions in the country, if you haven't tried them out yet, why not give them a try? I have found them to be most helpful. The various Family History Societies which cover the different areas in Wales, are also very much worth a mention. You can advertise your interests in the society magazines, and members will often go out of their way to help one another. If anyone knows which town/area of Wales that their Davies's came from, but are uncertain which would be the appropriate rootsweb group or Family History Society to contact, let me know, and I can advise you about it. Thanks again everybody, you've made my day! Marjorie.
