Katy, I joined today just to talk to you. Why? If your ggg-grandfather was Abraham Lewis (b. 1815 in or near Blaenavon) we're cousins.
My gg-grandfather was Abraham's brother, William (b. 1822).
William and Abraham's father, William Lewis, was born in Llangyfelach in about 1784. William and Abraham also had a sister, Rebecca (b. 1814), who lived in Blaenavon with them.
William (b. 1822) married and immigrated to the States in 1854. Rebecca stayed in Blaenavon and married Thomas Timothy (b. 1812). I found some living descendants living in the Las Vegas area and we've been in touch, comparing notes.
Abraham's daughter Anne (b. 1845) married John Morgan (b. 1841). I found some living descendants still in the Blaenavon area and we're also in touch, comparing notes.
All of us are on Facebook. And we hava a great genealogy group for confirmed descendants of William Lewis (b. 1784) and wife Rebecca (b. 1784).
Would you like to join us? :-)
