Angel, Do you know of the Wales mailing lists? There are more than one now, I believe, but I think the one that is for all of Wales is the POWYS list. (I was on it for some time and I think it is a *very* good list with some really knowledgable people. The only reason I'm not on right now is because I have to get caught up with my mail and get some things "out of my hair" and I'll resubscribe.) There is a historian/genealogist on the list that will research for you for a fee-how much, I don't know. I should imagine there are books that would help you, too. You might find something at Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com (not real sure how their address is written up--) To look for Wales mailing lists (if you are on the Internet), you can go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist (if that doesn't work, try adding an s) To subscribe to POWYS, address:POWYS-L-request@rootsweb.com and then write "subscribe" in the body of the e-mail (without quotes). Don't write anything else-unless your program requires something written in the subject line. In that case, I just wrote "sub" as the subject and it went through. Hope this helps. What surnames are you looking for in Wales? Mine are Owens and Jones. Haven't had much luck so far... better luck to you! If I can help you further or you have trouble, let me know. If I can't help, perhaps I'll know of someone who can! Janis
