Hi,

Just found this site and am trying it out! I'm interested in Penallt history, particularly anything on Rosser family. For example anything on the  plaque in the Old Church in memory of Thomas C Rosser Royal Navy, son of William and Sarah.
Would like to get hold of both books.

Welcome Rydwin, to Rootschat ... I hope you can make full use of the expertise from all over the world gathered together into the best FH site there is !



If you make a couple more postings on (for e.g.) this board, we can exchange PM messages ... (by clicking the little green scroll) and I can then let you know my email/address and you can tell me yours and we can sort out book purchase !

If you are anywhere near, we are having a 'family history' session about the war memorials in Penallt Old Church on Sat 7th Nov, from about 1.15 ... with a talk by another RC person (Warresearcher I think he is called on here !) ... and the parish records will be available to search.   (The meeting isnt to be held in the Old Church ... we have no loo !))

Let me know if you are able to attend, (unless you live in Australia !) and I'll send you more details ...


But firstly, make a few more postings, then we can communicate by PM !!

Thank you Lydart,

I'm about 50 miles away so the 7th November is a 'probable'!

[Lydart]

I got your PM ... let me know if you got mine ... if you didnt get it, make another posting on this thread and we should then be in business !

[Lydart]

Good to meet some new RootsChatters at the parish records day last weekend. 

I think we may have another around November next year, so will post info next year !

Keep in touch ... and if there is anyone new wanting the book(s) ... let me know ...

Hi Sian

I'm also descended from the same Sarah Griffiths (nee Frost).  Any chance we could discuss and share information?  Thanks, David.

Hi

Just wondering how I can get hold of a copy of the original book as it has some great stories about my ancestors.  My Great Great Aunt was Sarah Griffiths (nee Frost) who you mention in the book was known as the Witch of Tregagle. 

I am fairly local so I will either pop up to Monmouth to get a copy or if you could possible let me know the names of the local bookshops I might ask them to post one to me.

Hello Lydart

I'd also like to buy a copy of 'Penallt, a Village Miscellany', and two copies of the more recent publication.  I'm not local, so could you let me have the contact details for "the elderly gentleman" as well.

Many thanks,

David

The sales of our local history book(s) are going well ... thanks to RootsChat several people have PM'd me, and have bought books.



Thank you all ...

... and we still have both volumes available !
