Please explain, what "Of that Ilk"?

[flogged]

I migh have Welsh but only if I can find that King Llyr and Penardum are true and real.

Tell me to take a walk if you like, but how do I ad an image at the side like others do?

[daval57]

go to your profile and add image.
it needs to be a reasonably small file.

As for double ff, I came across a strange one recently - Fforest.  I've never seen anything close to that before.

Perhaps the Welsh stutter a bit, but I did read a note from a researcher that because they had trouble translating the very old and early welsh language, they could only guess at what some of the lettering was, which is why it appears garbled to many, but at least they understand it.

No, the Welsh don't stutter - it's just that ff, ll,ch for example,  are  letters in their own right 

If it wasn't Fforest it would be pronounced Vorest.

While RC was down, I took a look at this site:

Ffound out that a Gadgie  means a townie

There is also the double  f - which is used instead of a capital F  and then, if you have Welsh ancestors an f is a v and a ff is an f -  What fun.

 

I've just had that problem with a 1776 baptism record .. the capital double 'F' makes the place of "Fairburn" look like "Hairburn" - if I hadn't known better I'd have been wondering which notary had had his/her hair burnt at that place
