Welcome to The Davies Family History
Website - 2012 The basis of this website is a family history database
containing information on over 12,000 individuals. Although this started as a family tree of my direct ancestors, it has expanded
to include the descendants of their brothers and sisters, and, in many cases, the ancestors of those who married them. So every
individual appearing in the database is connected, but that connection is often as the result of marriage rather than by bloodline.
Strictly speaking, then, this is more than one family tree - the reason for the plural title. The map shows the principle families appearing in the database,
with an indication of their earliest identified origins - the roots of the trees, you might say. From the nineteenth century onwards
emigration from Britain occurred in most of these families, with the result that living descendants are now to be found all around
the world. I have been greatly helped in my research into the family history by first-,second-, and more distant cousins, around
the world, who have provided me with photographs, documents and, where they, too, are engaged in genealogical research, the results
of their own research efforts. All this has now been incorporated into the database and I am most grateful to all those who have contributed and are continuing
to do so. They are far too numerous to list here, but my particular thanks are due to Colin Davies, Glyn Davies, Jill Muir, Robert Wilkins, Joy Light, Lynne Davis,
Allen Blethyn, Angela Benger and Edward Llewellyn-Jones. Some cousins have their own websites and I provide links to them where appropriate. Of particular interest to those searching for ancestors in West Glamorgan is James Loveluck's website. James and I are cooperating closely to ensure that our sites complement each other with a minimum of duplication. I am extending this cooperation to other sites covering trees which connect to ours. |
