Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from? When I look at my family tree and see the various surnames in it, I often wonder how and where they originated.

As I’ve mentioned previously, two of my grandparents came from the Llanelli area; my maternal grandmother, whose family I wrote about in my last column, and my paternal grandfather, who was from Felinfoel.
Once again, in the back of my mind, I had always assumed that if he was from Felinfoel, then probably, so were his parents. Once again I was wrong!

I mentioned in my first column that I had one Grandparent from Buckinghamshire, one from Pembrokeshire and two from the Llanelli area. I also hinted that things aren’t always the way they seem to be!

The comment I hear the most from people when I mention that I’m looking into my family history and doing my family tree is “I wouldn’t know where to start.”

We’ve had an interesting response to our first Family Ties article from Debbie Hillard Williams regarding her own family’s history!

Here's Part 2 of my story on how and why I decided to look into my Family Tree, to read part 1 click here.
In 1991, my husband Huw happened to mention to a workmate (Dai), that we were both interested in researching our families’ histories but didn’t know where to start.

I have lived in Llanelli for all of my life. All 50 years of it and consider myself a Sospanite through and through!
