>I am trying to research beyond this point. I know the family came from Wales at some point and would appreciate any information anyone has. I am in a little hurry to find out all I can as my brother...one of two to carry on our name in my grandfather's family is in the last stages of lung cancer and now has a spot on his liver. If not for wanting to show the information to him as to where his roots are, I would not be in a hurry at all as I know you need to go slow and soak it all in.
