How to access records in America

[JJonesThomas]

I am on the trail of Griffith Jones (DOB: est 1856-57) from Merthyr, Wales and his son Taliesin (DOB: est 1887). Griffith travelled to America where his son Taliesin and Winifred (1892) were born, though we are not sure of any other children.

I know Griffith returned to Wales with his son and daughter, but what I am researching is the following:

Who, when, and where did Griffith marry? (we know she died and is buried in America)
What date and where was Taliesin born? (We have been told Philadelphia?)
When did they come back to Wales and when did Griffith first go to America?

I have records of Griffith's journey to America in 1906 after his second wife Elizabeth died.

Hi Carole,

Thanks. I'm pretty new to this and have just been using Ancestry.com Where would I find this detail?

You should really have this moved to the USA Board before anything is duplicated again.

Perhaps https://familysearch.org/ could help. There are many USA records available on that site for free.

Cyndi's List is a wonderful compilation of useful links; as she's US-based, it's especially useful for US research. Word of warning: you'll spend ages following interesting links that take your fancy instead of focussing on your research: entertaining indeed! Highly recommended.
