Our family is Watkins. My husband's 2nd great grandfther was John Watkins (abt 1828 – 1883) born in Llantillo Crossenny.
He married Elizabeth Sykes and they had 9 sons & 1 daughter... eldest born in Llantillo Crossenny and youngest in Llangenney. Their son, Thomas H Watkins immigrated to NY state and is my husband's GGrandfather. He is the one we have definate information on.
Am new to board, so please excuse my enthusiasm & errors! We are excited to find relatives to find in Wales & make a 'pilgrimage' to my husband's roots!
