Title: GRIFFITHS in Monmouthshire
Post by: HelenO on Wednesday 05 May 10 13:44 BST (UK)

Could anyone help with a Griffiths family who emigrated from Wales to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in about 1871.  Husband is James Griffiths married to Gwenllian (Richards) at Nebo Baptist Chapel, Ebbw Vale, 1858.  Daughters are Elizabeth J and Mary A both born in the 1860s in Wales.  Husband's occupation was  Engine Fitter (marriage certificate).  I am looking for the parents of this James Griffiths.  Believe he was born between 1838 and 1843.  Thanks for any help.
