Comment by Betty Jo Blevins on February 7, 2012 at 6:06pm: Was wondering if anyone could help me with my brick wall? My great grandfather, David Thomas Lloyd was born 23 May 1862 in PA. That is all I can find out. His mother and father were born in Wales and so far have not found when they came to the US. David had one brother born in MD, there were five children born in PA and three in OH. His father was Thomas B. Lloyd, born about 1826. I understand he was a coal miner. If anyone could help me I would be so grateful. This was a brick wall that also bothered my sister. She died in 2006 and I have since taken over trying to complete this family tree on my mother's side. She will never know as she has Alzheimers but I want to finish this for my brother and two remaining sisters.
