I bought my copy of J E Griffith Pedigrees of Anglesey and Caernarvonshire Families as a pdf. file on disc which makes it a lot easier to electronically search and also highlight the parts of interest. The file size is just over 60 kb.

I think I bought a hard copy in about 2006-7 for £60  ;D

I've not used it for ages.

My family name is Griffiths, usually spelt in the correctly anglicised version of Gruffyd. I only go back to John born Llandogo, Mon. 1702, died 1749 Mitchel Troy, Mon. but buried Llandogo. His father also died Mitchel Troy 1749 and buried Llandogo. There was a Philip Griffiths born 1660 died 1747 Mitchel Troy, but buried Llantilio Crosseny. That courtesy of a Rootschatter. Evidently, he was a relative, but precise relationship unknown.

Going any further back highly unlikely.

My gateway was when I traced two descendant lines from Owen Humphrey, (grandfather of the renowned harpist and composer Dafydd y Garreg Wen) to my two grandmothers. Owen is recorded in Y Gestiana as being alive in 1693.
The paternal line is via Owen’s son Humphrey Owen who married Gwen daughter of Robert Dafydd, Isalllt. Robert was the son of Dafydd Vaughan, Glasfryn who can be found in both Griffith’s Pedigrees and Professor T. Ceiri Griffith’s Achau. His lineage is well documented and can be traced back to Owain Gwynedd and beyond.
The maternal line is via Owen Humphrey’s daughter Ann Owen who married John Griffith of Tu hwnt I’r Bwlch. Fortunately, their great-grandson, Ellis Owen, Cefnmeusydd was, among many other things, a genealogist who wrote a short summary of the family tree. Since this went back to the 1500’s it was easy to tie it in with P. C, Bartrum’s work. The trail this time did not lead to O. G. but via the Lords of Nannau and beyond to the Welsh tribes. I decided to stop when I reached Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledig from the Mabinogian)(335-388). When using Bartrum one has to believe in the accuracy of the Pedigrees he studied and also suspend any disbelief in the Welsh myths and legends.

Hi Glyn,

I'm descended from Ellis Owen FSA through Gaynor, Ellen, and then Isaac Roberts. I'm struggling to explore the Ellis family beyond Owen Ellis and Thomas Rowland - can you give any guidance please ? Thanks.
