Welsh Genealogy

I am traveling to Wales for my first time in August, 2017, for 3 weeks. My mother was completely Welsh, and I have the names and dates of the original family members who left, and where they were born, etc. Of course the last names of my mother's family are Jones, Evans, Hughes and Watkins. The first name I have is Evan Watkin, born at Llanerfyl, on April 6, 1733. His child, Evan Watkins was married to Margaret Davies on May 11, 1799. One of their children, Edward Watkins, born in Llanerfyl on March 26, 1815 and his wife, jane williams, born in Llanerfyl on August 11, 1821 were married in Radnor, Ohio, after both their families had moved to the states. Evan Jones, of Synod, born September 5, 1808, son of Evan and Sarah Jones, os also a relative, on the other side of my mother's family. Of course, I'd love to meet any of the descendants of these folks when I visit next month.

I am a psychotherapist, live on Vashon Island in Washington state and have two grown children, Barry Ross and Lindsey Ross. I am coming to Wales, in part, to explore my roots and my sense of a deep and magical connection to Wales.

Looking for information about Evan Morgan b. 27 Feb 1900 - although year of birth maybe somewhere between 1896 & 1900.

Very little is known. No birth certificate can be found for an Evan J(ames) Morgan b in Cardiff.  He came to Australia before 1922 and join RAN. Married in 1927 in Tasmania.

His mother was Gwen? and his father was also Evan. They are believed to have lived at Pentrych. He may have been a merchant seaman.

Any help gratefully received.

6 1/2 years reseaching my families.

Edward Lewis, B 1844 in LLowys, a GG uncle, emigrated from Mountain Ash in 1865  to Australia, 100 yrs beore we did!

He wrote a letter to his Sister, my G GM giving details of his departure. Letter came to light about 51/2 yrs ago and I'm trying to fill gaps. He died in 1907 after falling from a tram in NSW.
