Dear Maureen, thank you your email and for all the information you have given me. Glasbury is a good place for me to start so I will do as you suggest and go on to the NLW website and see what I can find. I am coming to the end of chasing my Jenkins all over Wales - I have eliminated most lines of Jenkins families. I do have a problem as they may been in Llanfair Clydogau at some stage and I was told that the records there are destroyed, which means that I will never know. I try to find all the branches of the family such as the Beavens as that I find is often a clue as to where the rest came from. Thank you again and do keep me in mind if you do ever find anything or anything comes to mind. The main one I am looking for is Richard Jenkins 1776 and died 1843 gentleman of Tredegar. with best wishes Diana ----- Original Message ----- From: <MJen512444@aol.com> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [POWYS] Selina Beaven Breconshire > Hello Diana, > > The best way for you to find out about Skkynlas I suppose, is to look at > the > National Library of Wales website, and type in Skynlas. > > For now though.
