Hi Morganllan
Thanks for the information I will study it and see how best to proceed. Gareth said you were also interested, if so which branch and how can I help.
I also have quite a lot on Lewis of the Van family which I was researching for a lady from Atlanta USA. I found a full draft pedigree roll at the Glamorgan Archives which needs to be seen. At the moment she can't quite figure out whether her line is from Lewis of the Van or the Lewis's of Llanishen, whichever it looks like she is related to Prichard's of Collenna through the female side and Ann Prichard.
Regards
Gilbern

Hi Gilbern 

I'm not related to the family! I am one of the Moderators for Glamorgan board, and was very pleased to welcome you to RC. Now that you have the required postings you will be able to exchange email addresses with others, if you wish to share pedigrees or other info.

Best Wishes
Morgan

Just as a matter of interest the Lewis` of Llanishen are descended from the Lewis` of Van and went on to live in The New House in Thorhill Cardiff which is now a hotel.:
