hi everyone
i have extensive history of my edwards side of the family. my grand dad was Meirion Edwards born 25 Castle St. Bala in 1905. his dad was
Morris Edwards Born 1935 LlanuwchllynMerionithshire and his mom was Catherine Mary williams born 1876. Morris had siblings John born 1870 Jane 1868 Sarshg b 1867 Margaret b 1866 William b 1865. their dad was William edwards of Tanyfford
any relatives out there, would love to hear from you. any one from Llanuwchllyn or The Parc. where I understand Trefor Edwards used to live who compiled the history I now have a copy of.

Hi
I have only just joined this site but have a copy of the same booklet. My husband's grandfather was Dafydd born 1874 (page 13).
Are there any more that you know of?
We don't live in LLanuwchllyn/Bala area but have family who still do live there.

lovely to hear from you. I've been struggling to understand the first few pages but think I have now cracked it with William Dafydd and Ann Roberts at the top of the tree and a Welsh dictionary to work out words that my husband (with first language Welsh) has never heard of!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Can you understand the top of Page 2? I have virtually given up on it. On page 1 Sian/Ann/Jane is the same person and is the person 1. Ann and later 2. Jane on page 2. According to page 1 she married Edward Jones (Crydd) who is 2. Edwards son of John ...... on page 2 who died on 1.1.86.
So where does the marriage of Edward Jones of LLan and Jane Williams married in 1808 fit in? Can't be a second marriage as Sian/Ann/Jane was still alive and never died until 1866! Is it the same Sian/Ann/Jane taking her father's Christian name as a surname?

hi - it is me but we have been on hols - sorry I never replied before.
Have tried to log in and couldn't find my password. They sent me an email to reset my password but it keeps telling me it isn't valid. So I registered on our other email address.
-
now I have to post 3 times before I can send you my email address in a pm.
Anyway thank you so much for your offer but I can understand the tree from page 4 Plant 2 William is the William Edwards, Tanyffordd on the top of page 5.
The William Jones Edwards (Y Canllath) top of page 4 is the a) Wm Edwards/Jones on page 2. He is the son of the people on top of page 2 and it is that bit I don't understand.
-
I have sent you a pm explaining I have now found the correct password so don't need to log in as Gwenllian. Will email you when I can get out on that bit.

One Edwards line from LLanuwchllyn are related to the Vaughns and
back to Lord Rhirid Flaidd of Penllyn in the 12th-13th century, which
is my direct male lineage.
For those interested, I have the paper trail documentation, including the
pedigrees as shown in the NLW.
Further proof is the Y chromosome DNA matches of two (Surnamed Ellis
and one named Edwards).
I would be interested to contact any male Edwards willing to take the
DNA test to prove or disprove their link to Rhirid Flaidd.
More info. may be found doing a google search for Ellis, Cadwalader.

One Edwards line from LLanuwchllyn are related to ... Rhirid Flaidd … my direct male lineage.
…
For Google and for others' future ease of reference, I might just append this note to Paraty's post -- in order to record that the RootsWeb WorldConnect pedigree found by his search terms is entitled Ellis, Cadwalader Family History (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC&db=dubart&id=I1008). In the 17th c. the people concerned lived at Gwernhefin (near the lake SW of Bala) for many years, before they joined the wave of Quaker emigration to Pennsylvania.

I can say with a degree of certainty that I am related to some of the Edwards' in the Bala area. I was stationed in Europe in the mid 90's and my parents came for a visit, part of which was a trip through Wales. We had been given information about a man named David (can't remember how to write the Welsh version) Edwards and when we located him, sitting on a stone wall in front of his home, I would have sworn he was my grandfather they looked so much alike. He passed away shortly after we visited, but I remember his wife was from Patagonia. All that being said, I would like to find out if I am related to that lineage. My name is Dan Edwards and I am from NY state. How would we go about doing something like that and what kind of costs are involved?

Hi Dan
give me some details about your grand father as i have extensive history about the edwards line going back to the 1700s and i can then tell you if we are related.
the welsh version of david is dafydd (sounds like dafith)
i know some of the family went over to patagonia as did a lot of welsh miners. but lets start with the names of your grand parents and do you know his date of birth. do not know if you get free access to the freebmd site which is quite helpful, but i am sure someone on here will inform you.

Well, my grandfather was Lyle Edwards and lived a great deal of the time in Niagara Falls, NY and then here in Rome, I don't remember his birthday as he passed away when I was fairly young but may be able to get more info from my brother who actually has a family tree that was done by my grandfather. My grandfather was the son of Frank Edwards and he had two brothers Roland (Maryville, MO) and Warren (Oswego, NY), the locations shown were at the time of his father's death according to the newspaper article I found today. I will keep you posted.
One further thing, I know at some point there were 7 brothers that owned a significant part of what is now Manhattan, NY, and that some portion (I believe also in the Edwards line) of my lineage owned a large portion of what is now Pittsburgh. Manhattan was turned over during a war to the US Government with the promise of it being returned at the cessation of activities, but as we all know now, that didn't happen. I was also told that there was a man (another Edwards) that my parents met up in eastern Canada who, after hearing my father start talking about this, finished the story.

I would be interested in this, what is the process?

Apparently my dads family on both mother and fathers side had surname of Edwards of Bala I would like to go back much further so any information would be helpful.

I am looking for information on any Edwards family from LLanuwchllyn area. My line moved to Dutchess County, New York prior to 1753, and then to Fulton County, NY until now. Prior to that our bunch may have settled in East Hampton, Long Island circa 1640.
We have no paper trail to Wales or UK. However, several males in my family resemble pictures of Owen Morgan Edwards (1858-1920) of Llanuwchllyn.
Anyone wishing to compare DNA results, I am on FamilyTreeDNA as Talmadge Edwards. Note I have some atypical markers including DYS455=10. So far I've found only one close match to a Scotsman named Gregg(36 of 37 markers, including the odd 455=10).
If there's a descendant of O.M. Edwards who has had DNA testing I would very much like to hear from them.

I know I’m dragging this topic up from the near dead, but is anyone looking at Edwards families in this area?
I stilllive locally and see to have lots of DNA cousins linking me to Llanuwchllyn and Llandrillo Edwards families.
I’ve done the Ancestry DNA test and I’ve recently done the YDNA test and would be fascinated to see if I can link to anyone.
