Hi Gerry Sorry to hear that sad news. I did not know him, but also read his book 'From Amroth to Utah'. Regards Sandra -----Original Message----- From: dyfed-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dyfed-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Gerry Lewis Sent: 09 March 2014 14:46 To: Dyfed Roots web Subject: [Dyfed] Roscoe Howells 1919- January 13 2014 Hello All Yesterday's Daily Telegraph contained the obituary of Roscoe Howells. Welsh historian and author - why it should have taken so long since his death is strange, but perhaps he wasn't "famous" enough. However, I'm grateful that they did publish it - put "Roscoe Howells obituary" into your search engine and you'll find it. He lived in Amroth and I was fortunate, about fifteen years ago, to meet him in Colby Woodland Garden nearby. He must have been in his late seventies then, but appeared fit as a fiddle. We had a long chat, as I possessed several of his books on Pembrokeshire. He wrote both novels ("Heronsmill" was one) and factual books. I did have a copy of "From Amroth to Utah" (which he wrote in 2001), but gave it away to a friend who had forebears from that area.
