Hi All I have just started doing my research in Wales. I am researching the PENICK surname. I am trying to find William Penick who we believe was born in Prince Edward County, VA. His father came from Wales. He went from Prince Edward County, VA to New Kent County, VA. I have several questions that I hope someone can help me with the answer. I was told that in Wales the name of the children were named after the fathers. Example ( Edward apt son of William). Is this information correct? If so, what does the apt mean? If it is not correct, then how does the naming of children go. All advice or web sites to look at will be greatly appreciated. Thank you MAY GOD BLESS ALL THIS DAY. Avie
