A Drawing Of Llwyn-Ynn

        From my Celtic, to Welsh, to Jones surname, the geographic area near Ruthin seems to be the green, green grass of home. For the century 1300 - 1400 A.D., the Y-DNA component is labeled of Llwyn - Onn (Denbighshire side spelled Llwyn - Ynn).  To date, the only actual "recording" of its existence is shown from a drawing pictured in the text by Nicholas first printed 1872!  Here it is...drum roll please...

       From page 374 it appears black-and-white but, it states taken from a water-color drawing. What it shows is a two story, multi-gabled (dormer) structure fading into the gradual slopping hillside. From a drawing of Llwyn - Ynn to the hillsides of Kentucky, who would have guessed.

        From one of my favorite and most helpful genealogical texts :

       Many, many and many branched of my Jones surname family tree were untwined and established climbing among the pages.
