I created this map not only to simplify my own family research but also to share it with others who face the challenge of tracing ancestral roots. I understand how frustrating it can be to locate places from the past, such as where our families were born or where our ancestors worked. With this in mind, I put this map together to make it easier to visualise these locations, including surrounding cemeteries, which are pinpointed and linked to their respective memorials online.
Through my research, I have also identified where my great-grandparents lived, allowing me to trace how our families migrated to where we are today. This map was created in collaboration with fellow historian John Gravell, who generously provided detailed information about the Trimsaran area, including the locations of public houses and farms that were integral to the social fabric and daily lives of the community.

In February 2021, I was contacted by Carrie Rees from Australia on the MyHeritage Family History site regarding our DNA link. Initially, we couldn't identify a direct connection, but upon revisiting the DNA section, I discovered that Carrie was a 3rd-4th cousin match. Our shared ancestry traced back to our great-grandparents, John and Mary Lloyd, from the 1850s. One of their children was Lily (Lloyd) Rees, Carrie’s grandmother, who was married to Thomas John Rees, known as Johnny.
This discovery led to an unexpected turn in my family history. We have a long-held heirloom, a brass snuff box inscribed with "J REES BRYN COTTAGE TRIMSARAN" on the front and "XMAS 1929" on the back, displayed in our cabinet. For years, I wondered who it had belonged to, and now, it seems to connect to our shared family history.
