This website is under reconstruction as it was getting a bit messy and needed a good cleanout. I have removed a lot of very old content to simplify the cleanup. My plan is not to restore it all but to move forward with new content. However if anyone wants some old information, photos etc, please let me know.
If anyone wants to help updating the content, or has any stories or pictures they wish to share, please contact me.
Diolch

Hi,
I am on holiday in Kallaroo, Perth over the Christmas period and I have promised to look up or contact either Mrs Gladys Jones or any relatives that she might have, on behalf of my cousin's son, her late husbands g/nephew.
I am a member of the Powys Family History Society , but together with my cousin's son, have failed to find out any info. about Gladys, who would probably be over 80 yrs old (if she is still alive). Her last known address was 28 Teranch Road (probably Teranca Road), Greenfields, Manduran.(I think Mandurah) A letter to her at the (probably wrong ) address,was returned unopened.
Gladys's late husband was named Ronald Jones ,who was the son of Thomas Jones who was born near Llangammarch Wells in Breconshire.
Many thanks in advance for any possible help you can give me. Although not a direct relative, I feel that the W.A.Welsh Society might be my only hope of finding anything about Gladys.
Best wishes and a Merry Christmas to everyone in the W.A. Welsh Society,
Sue Snook
It is with great sadness that the Welsh community in WA records the death of Owen Williams, one of its prime leaders over the past quarter century. He was the long-time Treasurer of the Welsh Free Church and past President of the Welsh Society. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his wife Mavis and family.
