Sandie. It would appear from your other mail that there is most probably a link between your Breconshire Awbrey ancestors and this tiny village. I have noted the dates you have given me and they are roughtly correct. The name is not a common one in this area except for that one family line which you are probably part of. I will research more if you let me know more family name details. Regards to the U.S. from Wales, JFW

Sandie. Have sent you some very interesting information via the You Tube messaging line. The links are getting very strong now, your ancestral name HAVARD, comes up strongly. JFW
