Jansr, I too would like to have information on the book, "The Griffiths from Wales and America." Perhaps since this book may be a very good resource for anyone starting their search on the Griffith family, it could be posted on the list. Can you tell me the author of this book too? I get several of these Griffith books mixed up. - Jean Griesan -----Original Message----- From: Jan Griffith [mailto:jagriffith1@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 3:47 AM To: GRIFFITH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [GRIFFITH] Mary Griffith m.
