Hello List, May I try and thank the whole of the Washington DC. List, for their great response to my lookup request on the BLETHYN Family name. I have got to say that the number of replies that I received, completely took me by suprise and left me overjoyed in many ways, one being the cousin effect of our two countries coming into my mind. Just incase I have failed to thank all concerned individually, please excuse me, and take this as one big thankyou to all. Of course my offer of any help to you all, in all such matters Historical over here in Wales GB. applies to all future times. Perhaps after I digest all the info optained and added to my file, I may be allowed to further indulge on the lists generosity, and ask advice on further advancement. Even though we live in this great electronic age, that bit of water still seems a big barrier to my finding out more. Best Regards Allen Blethyn in Aberavon Wales. UK.
