Thanks to everyone for the info on cemeteries in Dolwyddelan. I failed to mention the family that I am looking for because I posted a few messages about them some months ago. It is a family that lived at Coetmor for several generations. Their surname changed often, with the basic ancestry of the family going back in time as follows: David Owen was born at Coetmor and christened 16 July 1797. He married Jane Roberts 21 April 1823. They left Wales in 1848 and settled in Cambria, Wisconsin, USA. David Owen's parents were Owen Maurice (buried 10 Nov 1809) and Margaret Jones (buried 11 May 1827). Owen Maurice was born at Coetmor. Owen Maurice's parents were Maurice ap Robert (buried 24 Nov 1787) and Jane (buried 29 June 1787). Maurice ap Robert's parents were Robert Cadwalader (buried 9 Jan 1739) and Margery (buried 14 Dec 1747). Robert Cadwalader was also, I believe, born at Coetmor. One of Robert Cadwalader's other sons, Cadwalader Roberts, married Ann Griffith, and they have a descendency that is well covered on the LDS church website and various other places online. My goal is to find as many of these gravestones as possible to check for additional genealogical information as well as to take photos for personal and family interest. I would be most interested to find someone whose lines link into this family or home to share information. Thanks for the continued help, Michelle Missouri, USA > > ______________________________> Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 18:57:28 EDT > From: WTJ831509@aol.com > To: WLS-CAERNARFONSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [CAE] Dolwyddelan cemeteries > > Hello Michelle > There are two cemeteries in Dolwyddelan. > Gennasaret Chapel is still > standing but has no cemetery attached to it. > Gennasaret opened about 1824 but > was replaced after about 80 years by Bethel chapel. > Many of the gravestones in > the old church have come from local slate quarries, > and being that the slate > was not very good they have deteriorated in the > last few years, but they > have all been recorded.
