Although my Evans ancestor immigrated to the US in the early 1800's from Weshhpool, Montgomeryshire I found a relative who's family had stayed in Welshpool and migrated later on to England because we have an exact match on our mitochondrial DNA. My ancestor was Ann (possibly Evans) b. 1832 Wales who married William Evans of Welshpool. His ancestor was Elizabeth Evans b. 1816, Welshpool. What are the names of the people you are researching, when born and place. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
