Bob--my sister and I will be on a UCLA tour of central Ireland next month and then will spend an extra week doing a quick dip in west Cork and then Wales. I see you are a professional level genealogist so wonder if you would be interested in seeing what we can find of the EDWARDS family. My maternal grandmother's family spent some time in county Kilkenny before moving to Canada but it is the time before this that interests me.
Various family trees have mentioned an Edwards Hall near Cardiff as birth places for Richard (1523 and son Richard B on 22 Nov 1566), Joshua in 1582 or 1584 as well as a Thomas who was born in 1639 and died in 1671. Do you have any idea where this Edwards Hall might be?
The other Edwards puzzle is up by Bangor where the paper I was given has a Francis Edwards born about 1705 and leaving for Ireland from ILDOEL. Other "genealogists" spell it as ILDOORL and ODOWIL but when I wrote to the college archivist in Bangor, he said none of them meant anything in either Welsh or English. I've been unable to reach any of the people who used the spellings as two have died and others have changed their e-mail addresses since posting. Help! I look forward to the scenery but I'd really prefer to get some answers! Carolyn
