Megan, Yes, it quite confusing at times. My grandparents were listed as Bangor, as that is where they have to register. My family actually is from Bethesda, the parish of Llandegai and Llanllechid. Same goes for those born on Anglesey. Same goes if you have a copy of a passport for an ancestor. My grandmothers says Carnarvonshire. My grandfather came to the US a year earlier, his passport says Bangor, not even Carnarvonshire. Crazy, but it is part of the learning curve.
