Descendants of THOMAS BEVAN and Jennet THOMAS of Llandyfodwg and Llwynypia Farm, Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan

Welcome to the BEVAN of Llandyfodwg and Ystradyfodwg [Rhondda] Website

When I started tracing my mother's father's JONES family, I found that my grandfather's 'Gloran' links were via the BEVAN and DAVID/IES families. The 'Glorans' was a name given by the new incomers to the parish of Ystradyfodwg that became known as the Rhondda Valleys, to those people who were settled in the parish of Ystradyfodwg prior to industrialisation.

I felt that I was ploughing a lone furrow as it seemed that no-one else was researching any of these early Rhondda families. How wrong I was.

Having met several others on the net who turned out to be cousins several times removed via the Glamorgan Mailing List and through the Glamorgan Family History Society, researching families that married into my BEVAN family. These are Glyn Davies of Kent, Ron Davies of France, Robert Wilkins of Dorset, Marion Rodgers of Eglwysilian, and Charles and Winifred Bridges of London, who are the main contributors to our common research.

There are possibly other people out there who are trying to trace their past that maybe also connect too.

Because of this, I am sharing what I've found with you and, I hope, if you have additional information on these families, that you will be kind enough to let me know and share your knowledge with me.
