Hi from Wales

Post by mags54 »

I've been researching my family history for about 4 years and coming from Wales it's so difficult as the names are so common.Most of my names are Jones,Davies,Evans,Thomas,Jenkins,Roberts etc.I do have a couple of ancestors with less common names Bonaventure being one of them.
Look forward to using the site

Hi Mags, Welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Welcome Mags.
I have a horrible feeling that the rare surname will be no easier to track :grin:

Hello Mags - welcome to the Forum

I'm a Mags with Welsh connections - luckily a name that's not so common - Mutton, although that is originally from Cornwall. I do have Hughes and Williams in Wales though.

Don't despair - I do have Jones's from Tipton in my tree and have managed to get back to the 1700's

Best wishes - Maggie

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
