Hi Pat,
Yes slowly but surely, been concentrating on other branches, but was
contacted by the latest residents of Nant-y Ffin, the other night which well
and truly renewed my interests. Thanks for the new information, will have
to get the maps out again, looks like the same people.
I know very little about this area of Wales. Looks like I joined the wrong
Family History Soc, I joined the Dyfed one. Will have to now join the
Carmarthenshire one.
Hope your searches are going well.
Sue Smith from Chester
