Seen some posts spreading the myth that you can't research your Welsh ancestors if they have a common surname like Jones. So I wanted to share my video on how people approach Welsh research wrong. It was originally aimed toward American viewers but useful for everyone #Genealogy youtu.be/YOLnlLLItv4

Lovely to join this bright blue sky space. By way of introduction, I am a mother of two, a carer of one and since October, I’m a part time doctoral researcher. I grow fruit and veg at our allotment yet manage to kill every houseplant I’ve ever owned. Books are a passion. Everyone needs a library!
