Many More Bridges Needed Over These Troubled Waters

        Dark and troubled waters covered the genealogy effort involving my Jones surname tree climbing during these days. [1300-1400 A.D.] Loss of life, loss of family members, loss of land, and maybe even loss of purpose were many of the dynamics that stirred the waters. Last post gave some of the associated family surnames that often helped bridge some issues. Likewise, the following references give additional items that assisted in connecting some branches. They are saved in my research notebooks by topic/subject and, can be searched by issue using the search bar at https://tjgresearchnotebooks.blogspot.com. Please remember RN= (abbreviation for Research Notebook and # = number for notebook followed by content in notebooks).                        Oswestry - Wat's Dyke  RN#163                                                                                                                       Wrexham  RN#164                                                                                                                                           Denbigh RN#165                                                                                                                                                      Llanfair Dyffyn-Clwyd RN#166                                                                                                                                   Co.

Associated Family Surnames

        Life would never be the same following the "Black Death". My Jones surname family seemed to live another day but, it must have been difficult. The sons of Tudor Trevor (JC-1) all seemed to continue their branches down the family tree. A variety of surnames sharing the same Y-DNA scattered about the same geographic areas now called Denbighshire and Flintshire. A few surnames in Montgomeryshire, Cardiganshire and Merionethshire took their place among the branches. The following group of surnames are found, of course, in Nicholas.

  
    Here they are with their pages listed.

             For Denbighshire: Yale (p.419), Trevor (p.415), Griffith (p.408), Trevor of Brynkinallt (p.415), Trevor of Trevalyn (p.393) [spelled Trev-alyn p. 391, p.395, and p. 376].  Of course, my Jones branches listed as Jones-Parry (p.355, p. 411, p.189).

              For Flintshire: Pennant (p.453), Mostyn (p.451 and p.452), Lloyd (p.450), Eyton (p.446), Young (p.440) and Trevor (p.457).

              For Montgomery: Owen (p.811), Price (p.810), Trevor (p.813) and Lloyd (p.813).

              For Cardiganshire: Lloyd (p.947).

              For Merionethshire: Lloyd (p. 705).

       Whew! All these surnames sharing the same Y-DNA!
