It might not be the tydfil you want, but I recall that this one was famous as an iron producer and was at one time the biggest source of iron in the world. It has long since ceased iron production. Yes, I am very familiar with the name Merthyr Tydfil being as distant family are from there but I was not aware that they mined iron as well as coal. This is actually very valuable information for me to investigate further so thanks for contributing Billy! :cool:	FoxyMX (5)
1372064	2014-04-06 23:07:00	A bit of a punt, FoxyMX, but I thought the first name was Llangetto, and that came up in a Google search as an alternative name for Llangattock - "Llangattock (or Llangatwg in Welsh) is a village in the Brecon Beacons National Park in the south of Powys in south Wales. It lies in the Usk Valley just across the river from the town of Crickhowell." (Wikipedia). No mention of a second name unfortunately. There is another Llangattock - "Llangattock Lingoed (Welsh: Llangatwg Lingoed) is a small rural village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales." (Wikipedia). There is a third Llangattock as well, but I won't bore you with that as well. You can have a look at an index of Welsh churches here - www.jlb2011.co.uk and that may give you some ideas.	John H (8)

Good info John, thanks for that. Interesting how Crickhowell has come up - that is yet another place that distant rellies come from. Like the Genesis ad says, "they are everywhere". :p	FoxyMX (5)

PJ Nice work PJ, well done. :thumbs: I agree with the name being "Llangeitho" and that second name does indeed look very much like Dyfed. Have heard it mentioned many times as relatives were/are scattered around the place. Mystery solved, thanks for that!! :cool:	FoxyMX (5)

Have bookmarked the page to have a good browse when I get time. With a bit of luck I might come across something useful.	FoxyMX (5)
