John: THANK YOU! You've given me lots to go on. But a few questions if you can bear with me: "the Rawlin's book" - which is that? "Dyfed FHs " - what does this mean? "the Streetmaps website" - do you have the url? "Dyfed List" - do you have the address? this area being in Carmarthenshire - does that mean this Pembrokeshire list won't be helpful to me, or are they so close that they overlap with info? Now I know that these questions reveal my infancy in Wales research. But I hope to learn quickly and not be a great bother.

The Dyfed list covers all three old Dyfed counties. There is also a separate Carmarthenshire list. Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.
