Just to catch the list up on what I have already responded to Julie...

The David Jones family she mentioned with the Rhyd-y-dorth connection is
another one of my family lines. Yes, Rhyd-y-dorth IS a Cardiganshire place,
but I have always believed it was the name of the farm, rather than a "town"
or parish. I could be wrong in that. I haven't done much with the Evans
line, yet, though others in the family have.

I thank everyone who has responded to me with good advice. I ordered the
Rowlands Book on Welsh Family History at Julie's suggestion, and it should
arrive within a week or so.

Now, a second question: I have read on the Cardiganshire Family History
Society's website that there is a course offered every year for a week at
the University in Aberystwyth on Researching Welsh Family History. I have
tried to find information on their website, but I didn't see it listed.
Does anyone know of this?

I am thinking about planning a spiritual sabbatical in Wales (at least 5
years away) and this would be a really interesting thing to add to it, I
think.

Thanks, again. I'll let you all know if I find more, or need more help.
