And a Happy Christmas and wonderful 2013 from Ottawa.

Dear list, My first posting of a request. I have Maria Price Connell born in Hay in 1811, her father being Joseph Price Connell (although I think I have him referred to as Joseph Connell, alias Joseph Price, in a crime and punishment register listed in the National Library of Wales). I cannot find any record of Maria's baptism although I can come across a couple of male Price Connell in the Family Search LDS records. Has anyone any information on this family? Derrick Parsons (from a rather wet Cornwall).

Hi All If Rosalyn Fisher is still on the list could she contact me off-list, thanks. I seem to have lost her email address. Merry Christmas to all and a fruitful good-hunting New Year 2013. May all your brick walls turn to gold dust. Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz

Thanks to all who responded to my 13 Nov request for suggestions on how to prepare a single descendant chart which starts with two different sets of ancestors. I've looked into Legacy as recommended and while I like the look of the chart it doesn't do what I want (and I've not found any program that will do so). I may be doing something incorrectly but I could only get it to print four generations. The long and short of it is that I will have two charts printed by a genealogical printer and sent to the families and they can put them together as they wish. The knowledge on this list is wonderful and I get so many tips on how to improve my research. Problem is I could spend 24/7 on the computer just reading and following up leads.

Hello All, The Glanusk edition of A History of the County of Brecknock by Theophilus Jones is now on Ancestry. Unfortunately they have just digitised the 1141 pages of the four volumes in a straight  run of 1141 images without even an indication of volume breaks.  To help get my bearings I made the tables below which may be of use to others. Volume 1:   images 1- 236 with the index at image 229            Volume 2:    images 237 - 517 with the index at image 509 Volume 3:    images  518-768 with index at image 755              Volume 4:    images 769 - 1141 with the index at image 1111 As the illustration plates have no page numbers the match between page numbers and the image numbers gradually disappears in each volume so it becomes more of a estimating game.   The sections about particular parishes start at the following images: Vol 2:  Brecon   (St John and St Mary) 290   Llanddew 410   Garthbrengy 417  Llandefailog Fach 428   Merthyr Cynog 439   Battle 446   Aberyscir 451                   Trallong 455   Llanvihangel Nant Bran 457   Llandeilo'r Fan 459   Ty'r Abad 460  Llanwrtyd 463    Llanddewi Abergwessin 467   Llanfihangel Abergwessin 469   Llanwrthwl 473   Llanafan Fawr 475   Llanvihangel Bryn Pabuan 480   Llanganten 484   Llanavan Vechan 487   Llanlleonvel 488   Llangamarch 492   Llanynis 500   Maesmynis 502 Vol 3:  Builth 521   Llanddewi'r Cwm 531   Llangynog 531   Alltmawr 532   Gwenddwr 532   Crickadarn 534   Llyswen 537   Llandefalle 543   Bronllys 552 Talgarth 558   Llanfihangel Tal y Llyn 577   Cathedine 581   Llangorse 585   Llanelieu 593   Glasbury 596   Hay 618   Llanigon 627   Grwyne Fawr 631 Grwyne Fechan 631   Partrishow 633   Llanbedr 635   Crickhowell 639   Llangenny 670   Llanelly 675   Brynmawr 883   Llangattock 685 Llanfihangel Cwmdu 696   Llangynidr 716   Llandetty 721   Capel Taff Fechan 731   Beaufort 732   Llansantfread 734   Llangasty Tal y Llyn 747 Vol 4:  Llanfihangel Tre'r Graig 777   Llan y Wern 780   Llanvillo 782   Talachddu 789   Llanhamlach 791   Llanfigan 801   Llanfrynach 813   Cantref   828 Vainer/Faenor 832   Penderin 843   Ystradfellte 854   Ystradgynlais 862   Llywel 878   Devynock 896  Cray 923    Llanspyddyd  928   St David (Llanfaes) 951 The volumes are a real treasure trove for Breconshire researchers.

Yes, John, many thanks are due to Mary. I have already taken advantage of her "index." For listers without access to ancestry, I found the book on google books. The electronic version is free and you can download a free pdf version as well. The only thing I don't know is if it's the same edition, as it says "in two volumes." But so far the pages I've accessed have tracked to Mary's list.

I have found an 18th century ancestor of mine whose name was John Wigley. He was a land surveyor in Pembrokeshire but I have found no trace of him before the mid 1700s, he was probably born in 1749. I believe there was a family with this surname living in Llanbrynmair and I wonder if anyone on the list might know of any possible connection between that family and my ancestor. Margaret
