Kathi, Perhaps the name got muddled by whomever provided it later (was it listed, for instance, on Benjamin's death certificate?) --- I would suggest it may have been Jerman/German (most often found in Montgomeryshire)?

(cross-posting) > Greetings, all, > > I have received a copy of the death certificate of my gr-gr-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Jones, born Jan 5,1835, in Wales. (Most likely a Cardiganshire birth.) My question comes from his mother's birth name, though. She is listed as Anna Germancy or Jermancy, born in Wales. From Ohio census and cemetery records, I know that she was born Abt. 1794. I do not know where, so am sending to the Dyfed list as well as Cardiganshire. Sorry for the cross-posting. > > Have any of you come across this name? It seems unusual to me. What a relief to have a Welsh name other than Jones and Griffiths and Evans!! LOL A quick check on the Family Search site came up empty. > > I appreciate any and all replies, off list or on.
