Dear John, How do you do it!!! I searched on the old maps and my new road atlas and found nothing! Now here you are again giving me a helping hand to find not only the place on the map but also guidance to find out about the area. I am so indebted to you - Thank you very much. I wish I could return the favour but instead will have to make do with feeling so pleased with all your help. Thank you again, Myra +++++++++++++++++++++== I have found a potential POWELL ancestor on Rootsweb (Ummmm!) He was born ABT 1779 in Llanafanfawr, Breconshire Wales. Can anyone tell me where this place is? I have tried the old maps but without success. ====================
