Subject: [WLS-CGN] Anna Germancy of Wales? (cross-posting)
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 11:21:03 -0600


Greetings, all,

I have received a copy of the death certificate of my gr-gr-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Jones, born Jan 5,1835, in Wales. (Most likely a Cardiganshire birth.) My question comes from his mother's birth name, though. She is listed as Anna Germancy or Jermancy, born in Wales. From Ohio census and cemetery records, I know that she was born Abt. 1794. I do not know where, so am sending to the Dyfed list as well as Cardiganshire. Sorry for the cross-posting.

Have any of you come across this name? It seems unusual to me. What a relief to have a Welsh name other than Jones and Griffiths and Evans!! LOL A quick check on the Family Search site came up empty.

I appreciate any and all replies, off list or on. Thanks in advance.
