Hi Uskite!

I'm so sorry I didn't respond to your post of April 17 about your husband's talk on Beriah but have only just come across it while browsing this site for the first time in months.  Possibly I overlooked the usual message alert due to several health problems in 2016 and too many other issues.  Anyway, despite my rudeness in not replying, I hope you found some useful material at the NLW and the talk went well.  I have a large photo of Beriah and Anne with their 8 children, taken possibly in the mid to late 1890s.  And another, even larger, taken outside the family home, Pen-y-Bryn, on the occasion of Bronwen's (Nellie's sister's) wedding in Dec 1910.  Nellie (aged about 25) was one of 2 bridesmaids - in a wonderful hat and with a huge bouquet!  That's the only photo I have which includes Timothy.  If you'd like them, I'd be very happy to send you a copy of both.

I'm also hoping to resurrect my family history searching again this winter so may want to ask you for missing details!

Hello.  I don't have much time as I would like to research family history - including using Rootschat but have just noticed Klerr's interesting message posted in April 2011.

My main interests are the ancestors and descendents of Beriah Evans who was my great grandfather.  His daughter, Elizabeth, was my father's mother.  Beriah had 9 children, the youngest, Ivan Myrddin, was married to Catherine, Klerr's grandmother.

Klerr and I are therefore distant relatives - ?second cousins?  If she reads this message, I'd love to know more about that part of the family - Catherine, Nansi and Ivan (known as Myrddin).  As a child, I remember meeting Iorrie and recall him visiting my father (his cousin) shortly before he was killed in a car accident.  My father was also brought up largely by their grandparents as his parents died young.
