(2nd posting)I am trying to trace my great grandmothers family--her father was Owen Jones from Llangafni, Anglesey county Wales. He was a farmer. I believe his wife was Mary. They had a son owen (Thomas?). And 4 daughters-Elizabeth born Aug 12 1893-(married name Bridge-married in England in 1921). She then moved to USA in May 1923, settling in Chicago,Il. until July 1953 when she passed away.<>her sisters were Mary(may),Annie, and Jane (she died in march `1947). I believe from a letter I just found from her sister that is dated from 9-27-1953, family lived at 5 Glandur Terrace. I believe she had a niece Valantine, and also Hillary. Possibly a nephew named Mesyn(?) My mom can only shed only a small light on any of this, she has been sickly the past few years. Any information would be truly wonderful. Thanks in advance for any help.

Seeking decendants of Thomas Williams, son of William Williams and Sarah or Dovey Williams. Thomas was born abt. 1830, in the country of Wales and later lived in the southern part of England,from which he migrated to the USA about 1850.It is probable that this family were gypsies or travelers. Anything will be appreciated.

Thank You

Trying to find Cecelia (various spellings?) Jane JONES origins and marriage after her husband William D. GRIFFITH died in 1842. Wm. died "four months" after the birth of their son John GRIFFITH on 8 Nov 1841. Cecelia took her son to her father in PA for him to raise before remarrying. 1850 Census shows John GRIFFITH aged 9 living in Luzerne,PA and have him from there but wish to know what happened to his mother Cecelia. Cecelia's siblings were David L JONES (b.ca. 1813 Wales blinded from mining accident probably in PA), Henry JONES (b. 1820 Wales miner married Martha b.ca. 1828), and Thomas (b.1826 Wales miner). Cecelia JONES was probably born about 1822. Please email me at mrspsp@dc.rr.com Thank you.
