My Wales born grandmother's family used the naming pattern. I have her Welsh language Bible and on the fly pages, she has the names of her parents and all of her siblings. I have since found their families in the Welsh census and they followed this naming pattern to at least the 2nd youngest child. The last child was a late life baby. My grandmother did not follow this pattern but she married in her mid to late 30's and only had 3 children. I don't think that her sibling's followed this pattern either except for their first son's. They had their children in American. Janet ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Dear Janet, thank you for your thoughts - I think it is a reasonable guide then. How wonderful to have a family bible with all the names in it. with best wishes Diana ----- Original Message ----- From: <JANLWH@aol.com> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [POWYS] names > My Wales born grandmother's family used the naming pattern.
