A couple of months ago I knew nothing about the family of my grgrandmother Elizabeth Williams of Tangoyallt, Llanddewi Brefi, apart from her parents names and her address. I posted a query to this list and received two replies, one from Annie in Los Angeles and another from a Liz Thomas in Weston-Super-Mare. Both had family connections to Tangoyallt and Liz turned out to be a third cousin of mine. Annie was also able to put me in touch with my father's second cousin who had very detailed info of the family, and I was able to help him with his missing links. It has now become a team effort, and the results are better than I ever could have dreamed of. And all because of the unique name of the dwelling, Tangoyallt. It shows the value of joining a mailing list such as this. Regards, Gwyn Williams (Mid-Glam)
