Find Family

CROESO.. Welcome to our homepage.Please contact us via our e-mail address as shown if you require any data .We are a North Wales family now living at Deganwy on the banks of the River Conwy.Some of the family are Welsh speaking and are very proud of our roots and come from as far as Anglesey in the west and the Wirral and Durham to the east, and some have gone out to other parts of Wales , England and Scotland and also abroad to Canada and America and Australia ; the Hughes family in the main are from Anglesey,the Eccles family from Hoylake in the Wirral,the Joyce family from Tudhoe near Spennymoor, County Durham ,the Williams family from Caernarfon and Bangor areas and the Jones family and Moxen(Moxon) families are from Anglesey and Conwy and the Roberts family from Conwy .
I have undertaken a D.N.A. sample test for a genetic trace ( the paternal y - chromosomes) which effectively takes the my male HUGHES line to a CELTIC linkage in either Cologne (Germany) or Ljubljana (Slovenia)( more clarification on this to come)
