Hi folks,
First time here...
I was told that family research can get somewhat difficult trying to
trace family ancestors prior to 1812, when patronymic names was used?
What does one do, if they have very little to go on, other than name,
year born and area?
What does one do, when it appears that every second welshman had the
same name! LOL
