Cerrigceinwen

Okay.  Time to play catch-up and add some things to the blog that have nothing to do with weather in Canada, and everything to do with the point of this project: our ancient relations.

Last September, A.R. & U.P. went to Wales for a holiday, and I asked them if they would stop and take some pictures of one of the little dots on the map off the North Wales Expressway to Holyhead called Cerrigceinwen, as this location is the birthplace of one of my great-great grandmothers, Mary Evans.   They kindly set off down a road that ended up as not much more than a grass track and found the church of Cerrigceinwen - and that was about all there was left to see.  Cerrigceinwen is the name of the parish, and there is not really a village, or even a crossroads there now.  I did go onto Google Street View later and "drove" all through it myself and I could see that it was really off the beaten track.  The church itself is closed and is for sale, but all the parish records are safe in Llangefni apparently.  I am hoping to get to Wales and spend some time researching in 2015.

Here are the pictures A.R.  took for us.

Thanks, once again, to A.R. for her enthusiastic assistance, even though this is not her side of the family.
