Cardiganshire / Re: Griffiths of Llanllwni
« on: Thursday 12 May 05 15:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have nothing on Ruth Griffiths or her family only when she married William Williams. I just wanted to know know if anyone else is searching for Griffiths in same area. William Williams family stayed in the same address for over 100 years in Llanybyther so his family are proving easier to find. They later changed their name to Davies, Daniel Davies a son who was my grt grt grandfather married Rachel evans of Felinfach mill Llanwnen. Her parents were Thomas Evans and Sarah Jones.

If Maurice and family are related to my David and Edward we may have a connection. My family moved down to Glamorganshire.
I will need to check this out a little more.

Glamorganshire / Re: Samuel family in Merthyr, Aberdare, Llanelly and Swansea

Hi
You mentioned ponyberem . On my grt grt grandfather Edwin Samuel's notes from the mormon church which were not very clear St Johns Pontyberem Abertawe were down as his birthplace. I do not know where this area is but the rest of his family were near Capel Newydd Llanelly. edwin was born in 1831/2.
When he moved to Aberdare he seemed to be surrounded by other Samuel's from LlANELLY.
I hAVE noted your family names and will see if I can find a connection.

hi
Were your Samuels from Llanelly?
I have found my Llanelly Samuels but the David Samuel you mentioned is not there. Some of these moved to Ystradfodwg.
Mine moved to Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil mostly.

Glamorganshire / Re: Martin family in Merthyr Tydfil

Hi Shanko
I have no real proof of Margaret's father being Edward. Her marriage in Vaynor ,no fathers name on register, also her birth record as I told you was destroyed in a flood in Vaynor church. I did become a bit like Sherlock holmes in tracking her family. I found quite a few similarities between Edwards son Thomas and Margaret ie Addresses, he was a witness at her wedding among others. Also the big Mormon connection. I have quite a bit of info sent to me by Thomas's family in Utah. Lots of the info fits in with my search so the evidence is strong.
My email address is Justgayn@aol.com
It would be lovely we had a connection, I haven't found any other apart from USA

Hello Both
I haven't found a direct line to the Osmond family as yet but most of the names they are researching  are also in my family tree in the same areas.
My grt grt grt grandmother Margaret Martin was born in Vaynor in 1811, unfortunately the records were damaged for her birth year in a flood. She also married in vaynor church. I have looked into the family and her father seems to be Edward Martin. Her brother Thomas who was a witness in her wedding  , his family emigrated to Utah.
Margaret married William Watkins . I have quite a bit of information from the eighteen hundreds. I have found relatives in Utah and they have passed their family trees to me.
William and Margaret's daughter Elizabeth married Edwin Samuel also from a mormon family.On the mormon family search every name I typed in was being researched by Donny's parents.
Donny Osmonds ancestors are from the same areas as my family ie Loughor, Merthyr, Llanfallteg, etc.
Is there any connection to your martin's.
Gaynor
