My interest in Genealogy and my family tree started when I was young, with the tales my dad told me about his family. I enjoyed going to Wales, meeting family I had never met, and listening to stories and tales of past and present relatives. My interest was further ignited after we discovered that my grandfather on my maternal line was, in fact, from an Italian family but had hidden this fact from his wife and children until he was old and in failing health.
It amazes me how addictive genealogy is, and I often spend hours and sometimes days glued to my research, searching out new relatives. I have been lucky enough to discover cousins living in many different countries around the world, and thanks to having my DNA tested, I have been able to prove links to cousins that paper records could not prove.
Brian Llewelyn Morris and Jean Clark were my wonderful parents. Having known them all my life, they were the most accessible people in my family tree to research, but I have only entered the fundamental details of their lives. If you have any good photos of my parents or know any good stories about either of them, don't hesitate to get in touch with me with the details.

While I was researching my family tree, the census records, in particular, were problematic for me. They listed parishes, hamlets, villages, towns, cities, and counties that people lived in. Some of the Counties had borders that moved or names that changed from year to year. I have listed the places my family lived in to provide more information about these places.
I have listed everything alphabetically, but each place will have a picture depicting which country it is in. To begin with, these will all be Welsh or English, as that is where my ancestors were from or were living.
While I was researching my family tree, I came across the names of many Churches, some of which no longer exist and some that do. I decided to investigate these places and record what I discovered here. Where possible, I will include any photos of the Churches I find or have taken.
These clips are all from newspaper articles with stories about people in my family tree. Most of these will contain marriage or death notices, obituaries, criminal acts or bad news. I hope to find other types of stories, but I'm guessing that good news stories will be harder to find in newspapers.
As I find stories, I will add them here. I will list them in date order, by the date of the newspaper clip, with the oldest clip first.
