A village in Wales
















Great Grandfather Jones was born November 2nd 1831 at Yetgach-Llanllwng-Carmarthenshire, South Wales. Several life stories have been written that will be more interesting and complete than this. When he about 18 years old he went alone to Liverpool where he boarded a ship named the Trnbadore in a group lead by Captain Dan Jones. The ship took 7 weeks and 3 days to cross the ocean. It landed in New Orleans and they then went up the Mississippi River to St. Louis where they then went west to Salt Lake. A cousin is by the sign on a trip taken a couple of years ago. The Chapel by the cemetery is most likely where John's parents were married. From the cemetery is a good view towards house where they lived across the valley. Then another view near the house. Also a view of the area where the house is hidden in the tree. Then a view of the house with our cousin and the people who now live in the house
