Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Llangynwyd Parish In presenting this volume - a History of my native Parish of Llangynwyd - to the public, I beg to acknowledge the great assistance of several esteemed friends. First and foremost, I have to express my thanks to our Vicar, for his kind permission to make use of his contributions in the old Bridgend Chronicle, on the Rev. Samuel Jones, of Brynllywatch; as well as letters written by the late Mrs. Pendril Llewelyn, in the Marthyr Guardian (1845), and her translations of 'Will Hopkin's Songs. I am also indebted to the Vicar for his permission to search the Parish Registers, and his willing help in deciphering many a partially obliterated passage in the older records. I am, likewise, under great obligation to David Jones, Esq., Norton Lodge, Wallington, for his kind, and, indeed, invaluable aid, in obtaining for me, from the Record Office, the British Museum, &c., transcripts of the ancient documents, and other material contained in the present History, and for many useful suggestions and much kind help. My best thanks are also due to Mr. Rhys D. Morgan (Ab Lieurwg), Maesteg, for translating, expressly for this work, several songs and fragments of poetry, and for other valuable assistance. While the labour of procuring facts and searching for material has devolved upon myself, I am indebted to Mr. Morgan for much in the way of amplification and criticism upon subjects with which he is well known to be conversant. Notably has this been the case in the passages referring to the Ledgers of the Rev. John Parry, and the various local poets. Last, but not least, must be mentioned the late Mr. John Howells, of St. Athan, to whom I am indebted for many favours. It is to be regretted that Mr. Howells's contributions to the English Press are not better known by his own countrymen.

Download or read book Tracing Your Family History on the Internet written by Chris Paton and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated edition: A genealogist’s practical guide to researching family history online while avoiding inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information. The internet has revolutionized family history research—every day new records and resources are placed online and new methods of sharing research and communicating become available. Never before has it been so easy to research family history and to gain a better understanding of who we are and where we came from. But, as British genealogist Chris Paton demonstrates in this second edition of his straightforward, practical guide, while the internet is an enormous asset, it is also something to be wary of. For this edition, Paton has checked and updated all the links and other sources, added new ones, written a new introduction, and substantially expanded the social networking section. As always, researchers need to take a cautious approach to the information they acquire on the web. Where did the original material come from? Has it been accurately reproduced? Why was it put online? What has been left out and what is still to come? As he leads researchers through the multitude of resources that are now accessible online with an emphasis on UK and Ireland sites, Chris Paton helps to answer these questions. He shows what the internet can and cannot do—and he warns against the various traps researchers can fall into along the way.

Download or read book Bride Ales and Penny Weddings written by R. A. Houston and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the poorest regions of historic Britain had some of its most vibrant festivities. Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, the peoples of northern England, Lowland Scotland, and Wales used extensive celebrations at events such as marriage, along with reciprocal exchange of gifts, to emote a sense of belonging to their locality. Bride Ales and Penny Weddings looks at regionally distinctive practices of giving and receiving wedding gifts, in order to understand social networks and community attitudes. Examining a wide variety of sources over four centuries, the volume examines contributory weddings, where guests paid for their own entertainment and gave money to the couple, to suggest a new view of the societies of 'middle Britain', and re-interpret social and cultural change across Britain. These regions were not old fashioned, as is commonly assumed, but differently fashioned, possessing social priorities that set them apart both from the south of England and from 'the Celtic fringe'. This volume is about informal communities of people whose aim was maintaining and enhancing social cohesion through sociability and reciprocity. Communities relied on negotiation, compromise, and agreement, to create and re-create consensus around more-or-less shared values, expressed in traditions of hospitality and generosity. Ranging across issues of trust and neighbourliness, recreation and leisure, eating and drinking, order and authority, personal lives and public attitudes, R. A. Houston explores many areas of interest not only to social historians, but also literary scholars of the British Isles.
Download or read book Stars and Ribbons written by Rhiannon Ifans and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wassail songs are part of Welsh folk culture, but what exactly are they? When are they sung? Why? And where do stars and pretty ribbons fit in? This study addresses these questions, identifying and discussing the various forms of winter wassailing found in Wales in times past and present. It focuses specifically on the Welsh poetry written over the centuries at the celebration of several rituals – most particularly at Christmas, the turn of the year, and on Twelfth Night – which served a distinct purpose. The winter wassailing aspired to improve the quality of the earth’s fertility in three specific spheres: the productivity of the land, the animal kingdom, and the human race. This volume provides a rich collection of Welsh songs in their original language, translated into English for the first time, and with musical notation. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of these poems and of the society in which they were sung.
