Aberystwyth, my home town. "Croeso" to my fellow Taffy's. Nice to know there are many out there who are Freepers too.

Aberystwyth, my home town. "Croeso" to my fellow Taffy's. Nice to know there are many out there who are Freepers too.

My great grandfather was born in Ysbty Ystwyth in 1842. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1863. He married a Welsh young lady from Aberystwyth when he returned to Pittsburgh, PA in 1865 after serving in the Union Army.

On the trip where I found the guardianship papers, I also found a microfilm record of the marriage of John Edwards and Jane Rowlands in 1833 at Llanfihangel y Creuddyn. That afforded me a chance to correct my family records with respect the the exact date and place of their marriage. Jane's family house is still standing on the road just north of Ystrad Meurig.
