Hi List I live in Powys, but have no family connection in this part of the world - but have a general fascination with family history - anybody's will do! So after helping a list member - Joyce from Oz when she was visiting the area, I asked John(the list owner)if it would be OK to offer my help to listers who cannot access local records, visit churchyards etc, and he said yes, so long as I made my terms clear. I am happy to do the research, take photos of graves etc in my own time for nothing, but in these times of high fuel costs, as a pensioner , I can't afford the travel, so would have to ask for a contribution towards petrol. If anyone is interested, please contact me initially via the list and we can agree what is possible and cost of travel off list. I've been doing family history for over 20 years and have 2 branches going back to the 1600's with supporting documentation. Hope I can help someone! Lesley

Hello Leslie, What a wonderfully generous offer! I would like to discuss with you possibilities about my potential BRE roots. Please reply off list. Thanks for posting; this may be "the answer to a maiden's prayer" ;-) Margaret, New Jersey, USA On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 7:48 AM, Lesley <l_austen@btinternet.com> wrote: > Hi List > > I live in Powys, but have no family connection in this part of the world - > but have a general fascination with family history - anybody's will do! > > So after helping a list member - Joyce from Oz when she was visiting the > area, I asked John(the list owner)if it would be OK to offer my help to > listers who cannot access local records, visit churchyards etc, and he said > yes, so long as I made my terms clear. > > I am happy to do the research, take photos of graves etc in my own time for > nothing, but in these times of high fuel costs, as a pensioner , I can't > afford the travel, so would have to ask for a contribution towards petrol. > > If anyone is interested, please contact me initially via the list and we > can > agree what is possible and cost of travel off list. > > I've been doing family history for over 20 years and have 2 branches going > back to the 1600's with supporting documentation. > > Hope I can help someone! > > Lesley > > =================== > Visit the Powys Mailing List webpage at: www.jlb2011.co.uk/powyslist.htm > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > POWYS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message > -- Luzerne County, Pennsylvania: AMOS, CHARLES, DAVIES, FISHER, HENRY, PRICE, RAUGH/ROUGH, REESE, WAGNER Brecknockshire (Breconshire): HAMON (?)

Lesley My paternal Davis family descends from William Davis/Davies, born between November 1663 and June 1664 in, we believe, Llanstephan, Radnorshire (now Powys), Wales. He immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America in 1684, and died in about November/December 1745 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States of America. When he matriculated at Oxford University in 1682, his father, William, lived in Llanstephan. We don't know if William, our immigrant ancestor, or his father was born in Llanstephan, or whether it is his father's grave with a death date of 1695 in the Church of St. Steffan graveyard. Is there any help you could give us with finding records for this William Davis/Davies family, and a photo of the William Davis/Davies, died 1695, gravesite/headstone in the Church of St. Steffan graveyard? I can give you additional information in an email to your private address. Tim Timothy W.
