Hello David Matthews, I am so sorry you have had that experience of plagarism. But, it is not only public people who do this, sometimes, private individuals also use data researched with meticulous care has been known to be copied and claimed. So, I suppose we really ought to be very careful with whom we share information. Funnily enough though, I have started to help a friend find his roots. His surname is also Matthews and I am waiting for further information from him to proceed. I have no idea at present whether he has links with Herefordshire or not. At present, it seems, Pembrokeshire or that area. They ended up in Cwmparc in the Rhondda Valley. If you would like to communicate with me in any manner to help him, I would be grateful for the interchange. All the best, Regards from a fellow family historian who likes making her own mistakes or otherwise. Maureen Rhondda
