I've just had 2 close relatives come on GEDmatch and they were also linked to each other and we've placed them in the family they just have to find there links.

The first one links with the Lloyds as he links to myself and a lady in Canada who is a direct link to my gt gt grandfather's brother so he's a Lloyd but he also links to the father and son who are direct descendants of my gt grandmother's brother so he links to Grandpa Lloyd's siblings.

The other man links to the 2 of us but not to the lady in Canada so isn't a Lloyd and doesn't link to the other men so relationship has to be my gt gt grandmother. :-D

Sounds exciting .... but a little complicated when you've not done it before!

Will you find out your Lloyd's Welsh link I wonder?

I don't know that Jem. Once you start finding definite links you start to be able to place people and hope they can find the link. With my gt gt grandmother we don't know whether it's her sibling the man links to so it'll be my 3rd gt grandparents that we meet at or if he links to my gt gt grandmother's 2nd family as she remarried after my gt gt grandfather died in a coal fall in the pit aged 29.

My Great Grandfather was killed in a mining accident too, in Maesteg. Aged 38.

There are several early deaths in the family but they are not direct relatives so haven't got their death certs. but they may be mining related either due to accidents or disease.

I expect that mining accidents were rife in those days Pat. And disease related deaths too! Sad times!

I'm off now Pat.
