The base for this file or data base is from Peter C. Bartrum’s work, ‘Welsh Genealogies 300-1400’, ‘Welsh Genealogies 1400-1500’, and his corrections and additions for these works. There are 27,553 individuals entered from his first work and 55,788 from his second work. About one fourth of the people are found in both works. Approximately 63,000 are the base of the file. As of 31 Mar 2008 the file has 234,342 individuals. The time frame basically covered is 100 A.D. through 1700 A.D. with a few individuals before and after these dates. | The base for this file or data base is from Peter C.

(It is amazing how close the dating method has been when an actual date is found. It has also helped prove or disprove marriage and parentage links. Some links which have been claimed are actually hundreds of years apart in time frame.) | (It is amazing how close the dating method has been when an actual date is found.

The word used for “daughter of” is merch or verch or ferch. Actually all the above are correct but are used in different time frames. Rather than try to sort every female according to time frame we chose to use ferch as part of the patronymics naming conventions for females. | The word used for “daughter of” is merch or verch or ferch.

Given names and surnames are entered in the vernacular spelling of the country rather than the English variations. Again Bartrum set the standard. Sometimes this has been difficult to determine especially with Irish/Danish names and the Marches of Wales. Also a standard spelling has been used up to the 1700s’. After 1700 the name is entered as the source shows with the exception of those still using patronymics, then the standard is used. (example: Gruffudd rather then Griffith, Rhys rather then Rice, Ieuan rather then Evan, Catrin rather then Catherine or Katherine). Alternate spellings are found as an AKA name. (AKAs can be found by turning on “Include Alternate Names” in the Options portion of the Name List or by using the icon found on the individual summary.) | Given names and surnames are entered in the vernacular spelling of the country rather than the English variations.

REMARKS: This Rhys "Hên" and his son Rhys "Ieuanc" seem in many sources to have been confused with each other. This error apparently occurs from the recording of both as "Rice Griffith, Rees Gruffydd, or Rhys Gruffudd" but not distinguishing the two generations. Thus wives and children have been wrongly placed and identified. REMARKS: For further reading about this man and his life see 'Dictionary of Welsh Biography' pages 839 and 840. | REMARKS: This Rhys "Hên" and his son Rhys "Ieuanc" seem in many sources to have been confused with each other.
