Alison,

I am very interested in your proposed Trefeglwys site and can perhaps offer
some material. You may be aware of the Jarman/Jerman web-site I maintain.
There are various Trefeglwys connections throughout the generations,
although because the families were quite widely dispersed in the area, I
have so far preferred to use an overall "Llanidloes" description. What
counts as Trefeglwys proper I don't know - you will have to consider how
extensively you treat the outlying farms etc.

You will also probably be aware that some of the Ashton links - yours and
others - that have been discussed on this list recently merge in and out of
the Jermans at various points - in sometimes rather complicated ways. This
might be worth pursuing as a subject in its own right as branches of these
two families did seem to rather colonise certain parts of the area over
generations.

I look forward to seeing your first efforts as I feel it is always good to
try and put some social/geographical/economic context with what can be
otherwise rather dull raw genealogical stuff.

Best wishes
