Dear Dot, Further to my previous message (below), your 'Llanfair yn Howyn' could equally well have been a misspelling of Llanfihangel yn Howyn. For further details, see the GENUKI website at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/AGY/LlanfihangelYnHowyn/ The parish church for Llanfihangel yn Howyn is dedicated to St Michael, while that for Llanfairynghornwy is dedicated to St Mary.

If there is a kind soul on the list going to the Library sometime would they have a moment to have a look at the Llanfair Yn Howyn, Anglesey BT's for me? ======================= Dear Dot, You may be lucky and find a lister who is willing to do a look-up for you, but Anglesey is well outside the area of interest of the Powys List, which covers the mid-Wales counties of Breconshire, Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire. There are two RootsWeb mailing lists covering Anglesey interests: WLS-Anglesey, and WLS-Gwynedd. The relevant 'subscribe' addresses are: WLS-ANGLESEY-L-request@rootsweb.com WLS-GWYNEDD-L-request@rootsweb.com Please note that the Anglesey parish to which you refer is Llanfairynghornwy, not 'Llanfair yn Howyn'.
