Not to spread this project too thinly, but I began a 'Known So Far: Wales' page on the Welsh branch of my family today. There is a purpose in my going madly off in all directions (after studying the relevant 1911 census pages) - the earlier I get the full names of a family of Jones from Wales onto this blog, the sooner someone, somewhere, who has already been doing some Welsh family research will stumble across this and mercifully assist me. My great-grandparents' family names were Jones and Evans. Divine intervention may be required to make a dent in family research from this distance. I did try for a few hours to work out the next generation back for each great-grandparent, but I quickly began paddling in circles.
Really, it was just an excuse to spend an hour or two listening to Welsh choirs on You Tube in order to choose a couple of pieces to post here for others who may not know about this cultural gift to the world. I had a great-uncle who sang in the Treorchy Choir, but I am rather fond of the Morriston Orpheus videos and not so much of the Treorchy ones (may I be forgiven my disloyalty).
