Hello List, My dream is coming true. I will be able to spend two days in Wales while on a short vacation to the UK in September. My great grandfather, Capt. Dave Ellis was from the Aberporth area. He left around 1850 for America. Since my husband and son will be with me, I won't have time to do any research but I would love to be able to find some of the places I have already researched. My questions are: Does the Church of Wales, Mwnt Parish Church and the Church of Wales, Parish Church of Aberporth still exist? What are my chances of finding a Monumental Inscription in the Aberporth church if I already have a record of what it says? Do I need to contact anyone to get permission to see the churches? I have the name of the home where my ancestors lived - for at least 50 years. It was what at that time was the outskirts of Aberporth. The name of the dwelling was Bongam Bach. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find out if this dwelling still exist or if not where it once was? Thank you very much. I am so excited to finally be able to see my ancestral home.
