It appears that my ancestor also lived at that farm  !!

I just located a 1794 document that stated that my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather John Parry was from "Hafodygog, Llanfairtalhaiain, but now of Moelfre, Llangwm."

I have visited Wales and seen the farm at Moelfre fawr, still owned by family members.  But I have no idea where is Hafod-y-gog.

Hi,
    Hafod y gog is a farm,i've attached a link to show were it is on the map but if it doesn't work just go to streetmap.co.uk and put in the post code LL22 8RS and zoom in a bit.I think the translation of hafod y gog into english means something like summer pasture of the cuckoo

Thank you for pointing out the location on Hafod y gog.  I was confused, as to the two locations previously mentioned: Llanfair Talhaearn and Llangernyw.
I now see that Hafod y gog is situated, where someone in 1794 could say he was from  Llanfair Talhaearn, and yet someone who lived on the farm could be buried in Llangernyw.

Thanks to all who helped me understand.

The farm has been in the family for many generations.
My parents came to Hafod-y-Gog following their marriage in 1954.
My sister now runs the farm.
I saw the photos of the family gravestones - they are in the cemetery next to the chapel where we were members. 
The chapel has now been sold and is now a dwelling.  The cemetery is well looked after by the local council.
