I’m even more excited than I was when I wrote that last post. So, I was looking through the pedigree, trying a few other people (most of whom weren’t in OneWorldTree), and then I came to Sarah Frances Burnett, daughter of John Adam Burnett (”Squire” he was called) and Mary Elizabeth Thomas. Didn’t find her, so I tried Mary’s father, Pleasant Cannaday Thomas. Voila!

But that’s not the exciting part. Here’s Pleasant’s pedigree:

So I clicked on Evan (at the upper right), and imagine my delightful surprise when I found that he’s from Glamorganshire, Wales! A couple of years ago I worked on the Welsh Mormon History website, and almost instantly Glamorganshire became my favorite place in Wales. Not sure why. Maybe now I know. :) I’ve loved Wales since I was a little kid, even though I’ve never been there.

Here’s Evan’s pedigree:

Griffith Ap Rhys is a very definitely Welsh name. Mmm! :) And when I clicked on Rhys A Fitzuryan, here’s his pedigree:

Yes, I am drooling. See all those “5+”s at the right? That means at least five more generations on each of those. Goodness! And I thought the Houchins/Sneed line was a mountain! Again, it’s not verified, but “Thomas” is a Welsh surname. Ah, this is heaven! :D I really feel like a kid in a candy store. And I’m so glad I don’t have any classes this summer, because this is a serious distraction and I don’t think I could get myself to do any homework. :)
