I just today found this list and am hoping to receive some help from its members. I want to learn, as best I can, the language and have had no success finding any courses, books, or other aids for doing so. Could someone recommend a source to help get me started? I am planning a trip to Wales this summer and would love to have a little understanding before leaving here. I haven't had the chance to review the list members but if there are any from Wales I have another special request for them. I've tracked my family back to Owen Owen who married Emma Pritchard in Caenarvon in December of 1840. Are there any genealogical socities in Wales that might be able to assist me in tracing the line further back? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Tim Owen
