I'm trying to find where in Wales G.G.Grandpa Evan came from.Some of the names that keep coming up in my Evans line are: Sarah,John,Evan,David, Margaret.John married a Sarah (no it isn't a mistake both Evan & son John married women named Sarah)Sarah(no.2)was a Evans before marrying John so I have two lines of Evans' & the same names keep poping up.Can be confussing.
