Thank you all for the Bedwellty information. My grandfather was born there. He came to America when he was 5 yrs. old. He went to work in the coal mines of northeastern Pennsylvania at the age of 10 yrs. and had Black Lung by his 50's! The family name was Wall, Truscott and Stephens from the Mon. (Bedwellty area). I love the pictures of the area and can't wait to search the online records. Again, thank you so much for this. I can't easily get to Wales to do this on my own and it means so very much to me. God Bless, Janet USA Virginia ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.
