I found this web site it can describe mutations in a fairly easy way.

Wales / Re: Welsh Language help please translation.
« on: Saturday 13 February 10 14:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I need some help please, I'm confused!

I need to translate some words from English to Welsh, I've used this site but, the amount of names that I can use are many, which would be the most common/likely?

http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Welsh

just translating the word family there are about 12 possibilities.

I need to know -
Mother, Father, House, Family, Grandmother, Grandfather, Son, Daughter, Buried, Died, Born,
England, Wales,  Village, Town, Coal Hewer, Miner, and any other "family history" terms you can think of !
I'm in the middle of an art project, making a "family history book"  and I thought I'd use calligraphy on some of the pages and foolishly thought it might be interesting to use both English and Welsh!!!

Many thanks,
Pauline



Mum- Mam
Dad-Tad
House- Ty
Family- Teulu
Grandmother- Mam-gu
Grandfather- Tad gu
Son- Fab
Daughter- Merch
Buried- Cleddid
Died- Farw
Born- Yn Eni
England- Lloeger
Wales- Cymru
Village- pentre
Town- Dre
coal Hewer?- Maybe a miner?
miner- mwynwr   coal is- glo

Hope this helps you, but to get the correct grammer and such you have to know the mutations in the language which is quite convoluted. EG Wales can be Cymru, Gymru, Chymru, Nghymru.

Good luck I am very rusty but will be glad to help you if I can.

Hi there my first posting here, whilst trawling through google for information about Manordeifi and Llangunnor, I came across this forum. The above mentioned family are the same people in my family tree that I have been researching. Would be glad to pass information to anyone requiring it.
