don't give up - it can be done - my Grandfather was David John Williams - South Wales and great grandfather David Williams and so on right back - fortunately all found now back to late 1700's but it takes a bit of doing - I must admit I had help

Researching:
Breakspears of Berkshire and Cardiff, Williams and Harman of Whitchurch, Melingriffith &Tongwynlais,Glamorgan WE HAVE NO CONNECTION Do not share your tree with me

You need the birth cert.......no other way to proceed with any hope of accuracy

You don't actually need to locate him to compile the family tree.....just look for his birth reg'n..........and work back from there......

The mother's death reg'n will have her DOB.........do you know her maiden name?

What was the mother's name at death? In which year did she die?

I'm sure everyone on here will do their best but a John David Williams born in Wales is a pretty tough call!

Busy looking thru the births now but I may have to leave, if thats the case I am sure others will be around to give you a hand.
