Course time and research at the Family History library SLC...

DateMonday, October 4, 2010 at 11:44PM

...today is Day 1 of my course in "Strategies in Welsh Ancestry" with Darris Williams and the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History's British Institute 2010... that's a bit of a mouthful!

We had the morning of tuition in the Crystal Inn followed by some hours of research at the Family History Library up by Temple Square.

During the afternoon, I managed to get requainted with my Great Grand Father Dan Davis, late of Cardiff and Abercarn. He married Amelia Rowland in July of 1901. At the time of the 1901 census (pre marriage) he was in the village of Penrhiwceiber (north of Pontypridd) as a visitor with David Davis and family.

David and his wife were, as Daniel, born in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. Could it be that David is Daniel's older brother? Using this as a premise for a path to research I believe I have found him in the 1871 Census... I think I need to find a birth certificate to get a few more hooks onto which I can hang this hat...

Course Banquet this evening so time to get freshened up
