Dear Glyn, No sorry it is Jenkins that I am looking for - especially Richard Jenkins c1776. George Jenkins 1750 ish would also be another possible. I have chased my Jenkins all over Wales and still cannot find them.

Pictures of: Ynyscedwyn Ironworks, Glanrhyd (BRE); and Porthcawl (GLA) Dear Listers, Next week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales' webpages, uploaded two days early onto my website, include: 1. The cathedral-like remains of the old Ynyscedwyn Ironworks at Glanrhyd near Ystradgynlais, county of Breconshire (one picture). This was one of the very first 'Images of Wales' features, dating from November 1997. 2. The seaside resort of Porthcawl in the county of Glamorgan (six pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in August 1999. As usual, these webpages will be on display for about one week. 'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm While there, take the time to explore my 'Webpage Archive' and make your own Retrospective requests.

Hi Roger, You may wish to try a newer version of PAF. PAF 5.2.18 is available for a free download at www.familysearch.org I believe you can use it without a mouse, just using the keyboard, if you choose. You can also transfer your data from your older PAF program to the new one by way of a gedcom.

At present I have over 57,00 people linked in my computer family history programme and 19,500 marriages.I am still using old PAF 2.31.Unfortunately the "notes file" fills up at 65,350 or so entries.This stops me now from entering any more notes or sources. I have tried a couple of the modern windows based programmes and find them to be too slow and inefficient in data entry,especially the most needed screen for "Add Individuals"...the absurd use of a mouse would takes the hands from the keyboard constantly and so slow data entry no end.I am not interested in ANY of those. Does anyone out there know a programme I can use which is all or nearly all keystroke orientated and preferably does not use "window boxes" for data entry. (I don't only think OUT of the box....I think NO BOXES at all) Perhaps a "palm pilot" programme would adapt to my use on a normal laptop? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

On a recent trip to the NLW I found out something that may be of interest for Llananno/Llanbadarn Ffynydd people. I had earlier copied the BTs for both of those Parishes and had then copied the PRs from microfilm later on paper.When it came to compare the BTs/PRs line for line I came across a problem.The PR entries for BOOK ONE Llanbadarn Ffynydd did not match anything in the BTs for that Parish for the same years...not even one entry.Immediately alarm bells started ringing and I knew there was a problem here. Now if an error had been made that book one could be any Parish in Wales.I mentioned this to the staff at the NLW and I was allowed to look at the original copy of book one under ultraviolet light.There at the top on the first page only was the word Llanano [sic] in Latin...very,very faint but still readable.It was only on that first page since it seems that the tops of the following pages had all been cut off in a zig-zag fashion at some time in the past. I next pulled up the Llananno BTs on my computer and low and behold the surviving PR entries all matched the BTs...line for line. So...an error had been made in the past and book one Llanbadarn Fawr should now read Book one Llananno.Good news for Llananno people.Bad news for Llanbadarn Ffynydd people. Roger Scott Lewis. _________________________________________________________________ Enter to win a night a VIP night out at TIFF http://redcarpet.sympatico.msn.ca/

Hi Hillary, As I said in my original post, I do already know about the St Alberico's and how they arrived in Breconshire. That's why I chose to post this enquiry to the Powys/BRE group. Else wise, no pubic lecture was required, I am well aware of convention. It's just the wrong JPG image.

Hi Richard, Here is a comment made in good faith and not wishing to offend you. I viewed your Tree on your web site and was sorry to see that you have not observed the 100 year rule, which means that, for the sake of the privacy of living relatives, you do not post personal details (some of which can be distressing to the people concerned) of living relatives on a publicly viewed Tree.

There could be a good reason why you did not want off- spring to know the real date of your marriage, for instance. Normal convention has it that on Publicly viewed Trees, living relatives are itemised with words such as "Living Male" or "Living Female" By the way, the surname "Aubrey" is linked to Breconshire because it is an Anglo Norman Family which settled in BRE.

Hi William, It may be worth your while contacting The Great Oak Bookshop, 35, Great Oak Street, Llanidloes, Powys, SY18 6BW as the last time I was in there they had copies of some of the MIs issued by the Mont. Gen. Society. They have second-hand as well as new books. The phone number is 01686 412 959 and the website is greatoak@europe.com In the past they have not taken credit cards but that may have changed.

Is there some kind soul out there who has copies of the MIs for Llandinam, and who would be willing to sell/loan them to me, please ??? They are out of print, according to the MGS site. Those for Llanbrynmair are OK.

Pictures of: Llangors Lake (BRE); and Three Monmouthshire Churches (MON) Dear Listers, Next week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales' webpages, just uploaded onto my website, include: 1. Scenes at the ancient Llangors Lake in the Brecon Beacons National Park, county of Breconshire (seven pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in June 1998. 2. Three old parishes churches situated between Abergavenny and Monmouth in the county of Monmouthshire (four pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in September 1998. As usual, these webpages will be on display for one week. 'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm While there, take the time to explore my 'Webpage Archive' and make your own Retrospective requests.

Hello All, My grt-grt-grt-grandfather, Owen Williams, started naming ALL his children with the middle name of "Aubrey" in 1853. This is odd, because he'd had four children prior to this, none of whom had borne the 'Aubrey' moniker, three of whom were non-surviving males. Three of those children were by the same wife as the children who _did_ subsequently get the 'Aubrey' name. Indeed, this 'obsession' (and a tale to go with it) has survived down to my own generation. You can see the tree here: http://www.sonic.net/~raw/williams_tree.html Because the Aubrey name mostly comes from Breconshire (because of the St Alberico settlement after 1066) I am wondering if anyone in this group also has this phenomena in their family tree? Is there a helpfully mundane explanation for why it didn't appear until 1853? Is there a connection between my tree and someone else's in the group? Anything that seems relevant would be appreciated. Thx, Richard Williams

Hello Listeners :) I am trying to track down children of Lewis and Margaret Williams of Crickhowell (Partishow). I have traced them through all the census data from 1841 through 1881 (for Lewis), and their deaths. Lewis lived with his sister, Blanch Prosser, after Margaret died, at least from 1861 through Blanch's death in Jun qtr 1882. He died in Dec qtr 1885. My enquiry is: (a) The obvious, is there anyone out there who is also connected to them? (b) Is there an online resource for the parish's records that I can work through in search of their children? I am trying to link them to Owen Williams, a Baker of Liverpool who was born in Wales and whose father was Lewis Williams (Draper/Tailor). Any tidbits appreciated :) Richard Williams This is Lewis & Margaret's 1841 Census entry -------------------------------------------- Name: Lewis Williams Age: 45 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1796 Gender: Male Where born: [Llambeder - from 1851 census] Breconshire, Wales Civil Parish: Partishow Hundred: Crickhowell County/Island: Breconshire Country: Wales Street address: Heol Fawr (?)
