I recently learned that my great great grandfather, David Phillips Stephens, was LDS Pencader branch president before he emigrated to America. This means that he likely knew all of your ancestors who were his contemporaries. My dad, Francis Illum (son of Carl Illum and Rachel Deschamps), grew up in the house across the road from where Mitchell and Olive Deschamps live in St. John in warmer months. Of course, it was a log house in those days. I've included a couple of photos of Carmarthen. You take the BritRail system to Carmarthen and then a bus from Carmarthen through the hilly pass to the tiny village of Pencader. It's a beautiful trip! Some have visited Pencader and not been told by residents in the vicinity of Alltfechan Terrace just which house in the row of houses on the Terrace was occupied by the David Phillips Stephens family. It's the last house in the row on the East side of the Terrace, the one painted the lighter color. Niether of those on the West side were occupied by our family, according to all residents in the vicinity. It is well known in the Valley, especially by the older generation, that Mormon missionaries came and "took away half our town". They have also heard stories about Evan Stephens leading the Tabernacle Choir. Feedback would be exciting! Steve Illum Springfield, Missouri stevef_i@yahoo.com

I've posted a couple of photos of Carmarthen. You take the train to Carmarthen, and then a bus through the hilly pass to Pencader. It's a beautiful trip! There are two cemeteries in the Valley. The older one is in the churchyard, the other across the Valley. No question about it, aside from seeing Deschamps, Illum and a few other different surnames, these cemeteries in Pencader are a carbon copy of the St. John Cemetery where most of my immigrant ancestors are buried in the Malad Valley.

On both trips I took photos. More recently, I've discovered that this is the ancestral origin of many others in the Malad Valley. A few days ago, I discovered this site to be successfully running. I'd like to share the attached photos with you. You can easily transfer the photos to your own disk or hard drive. It would be great to enjoy some feedback from you.
