My older brother is the family geneologist and has tons and tons of info but i'll dig up what I have and see if that may help you. Give me a few days...recently back to normal, whatever that is, and have some catching up to do in many areas but I will find what I have, promise :)

Hi...very cool...it's a small world huh? You/your hubby could very well be of the same tree as us if your grandmother comes from Wales :)

thank you for that link, I'll check it out for sure :)

I got some family stuff from my brother (the geneologist) so if you find names from your past feel free to share them or send me a private message and I can look at what my brother gave me and see if we have the same commonality. :)

Gotta run for now...TTYS :)

Greetings :)

I do not have the information electronically. it's the old fashioned way...on paper. I will copy and snail-mail it to you if you want. If you do and are comfortable giving me a mailing address, send me a private message where you'd like it sent and I'll get it in the mail asap.

My vacation isnt really going to be a vacation any more. some family stuff has popped up which means I'll be going home (suburbs of Philadelphia) instead of to England, but I'll make it over there, and hopefully Wales too, very soon.

Oregon..wow...your branch left Philly too ;)

Here is a very short version going way back:
John Lloyd, grandfather of Gov Thomas Lloyd, married Katherine, dughter of Humphry Lloyd (who assumed the name of Wynn, of Dyffryn). Humphrey Wynn (Lloyd) was the son of John and Margaret Lloyd, who was the sister of sir Roger Kynaston and descended from Sir Roger Kynaston, whose wife was Lady Elizabeth Grey, daughter of Sir Henry Grey, Earl of Tankerville in Normandy, and Lord Powys.

Maybe I should just copy and send you the copy of "Addenda to the Lloyd Geneology" that I have.  Not to be lazy but it's not put together chronologically, it jumps around so it's hard to follow. right now i'm reading about how one of our ancestors (Arthur, Prince of Wales,1486-1502) was married to Katharine of Aragon before she was married to King Henry VIII (if you watch The Tudors...Yes, that King Henry and that Katharine) and if i'm reading it right, another Elizabeth in our line, was married to King Henry VII.

Thanks for all that info. VanDorn sounds familiar.

I have some info that goes way back but it's unorganized at the moment. I'll try to get my stuff together and get you something that makes sense in the near future.

Is there a particular time frame you're looking for or a starting point to go back from? My brother has the real in depth lineage information, but I may be able to get you started in what you're looking for.

I am going on vacation, I hope, for most of August but I'll get some info out before then, I promise.  )

I look forward to seeing your branch as well, thank you :)

Where do you live now?

I'm currently in Japan, USAF, but born in Bryn Mawr (a bit Welsh huh?) raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The family obviously never strayed far from that area but I uprooted and took off. My brother lives in Bala Cynwyd (how's that for Welsh) and my mom in Narberth, my uncle in Merion. I Lived in Haverford several years, went to Welsh Valley Jr High in Penn Wynn and Gladwyne School (Elementary).

ok, that's wayyyyyyyyyy too much info  ;D

I just realized you said Thomas Lloyd...are you talking about the Governor of Pennsylvania Thomas Lloyd? If so..that probably narrows our relation even further as I'm descended of him as well. I'll find more info and post it later on :)
