Morgan/Williams Family in Ffestiniog? - Ffestiniog
My husband's mother's family came from Wales around 1865. It is said that they came from Ffestiniog. John Morgan b. btwn 1826-1833 married to Margaret Williams? b. abt. 1835. They had two children who were born in Wales: John abt. 1863 and Mary A. b. abt 1864. Evan, Sara, Thomas, Elizabeth, William and David were born in Wisconsin USA.
The family story, which may have become garbled with time, says that John Sr. was baptized in what sounds like Rosashir in a Methodist church in an area called Kendall. I have not been able to locate anything close.
Any help or suggestions regarding finding this Morgan family or general data would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eelia
