Roots and Branches(Reference #0623)
By Tom Evans

Roots and Branches is described as "a genealogy of some of the older families of the parishes of Llanddeusant and Llywel". These neighbouring Welsh parishes are actually in different counties .. in Carmarthenshire and Breconshire respectively. Inspection of the sparse surviving Bishops Transcripts for Llanddeusant suggests that either the writer was economical with the actualite, or the vicar was rarely there, or that nobody liked him and went to another church for several months each year, or everybody in the parish really did have the same name .. although generally even in the days of patronymics, there were a few variations. This means that this work by Tom Evans, deceased since 1988 but still remembered in the area with great affection, may be one of the only records of the families of that time ... as an unindexed book with hundreds of names, it is supremely valuable ... as a CD with a search capability, it's value is very much enhanced .. an absolute must for those with LLanddesusant or Llywel ancestry - or those who may have.

History of the County of BrecknockHistory of the County of Brecknock(Reference #0239)

Published in 1909 in four huge volumes this is a superb account of the history of Brecknock. It also contains lots of wonderful illustrations, maps and photographs of the area. It is also much more than just a dry history book, though. This is from the title page:

'A History of the County of Brecknock containing the chorography, general history, religion, laws, customs, manners, language, system of agriculture, antiquities, sepulchral monuments and inscriptions, natural curiosities, variations of the soil, stratification, mineralogy, list of rare and other plants and birds, Parliamentary history, names and biographies of sheriffs and mayors of Brecknock, also the genealogies and arms of the principal families properly emblazoned, together with the history of every parish, and the names of the patrons and incumbents of all livings.

All in all a superb general reference book, with real people's names and family histories thrown in for good measure.
