5 Jan 2004 How in circles we tend to go. Today I had an email from my sister who is as involved in family history as I am and of course, as you might remember from the ill fated Welshkin, we have Welsh history in our blood too. Anyway, she said she'd found this wonderful web site with photos of Wales and gave me your address. It's progressed quite a way since you got started and the photos are just beautiful. Congratulations and thanks for keeping it up, Venita. How are you doing? Eleanor, B. C. Canada 6 Jan 2004 Dear Venita Parry Roylance: Just wanted to tell you I stumbled across your excellent homepage. Well done! My wife's family also came on the Forest Monarch as part of the early LDS Danish emigration. You might want to consider also backing up your family history information as well as further promote your website to others. To do so, it is very easy to also put up your basic genealogy data at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project ... Again, congratulations on all your hard work. Cordially, Richard Nelson 7 Jan 2004 Venita- Loved your pictures of Aberystwyth. My sisters and I stayed there this past summer in a little B&B named Glyn Garth. We loved it...your pictures captured the city nicely. We had a fruitful visit to the National Library and also to the County Records office as well as the public library there in Aber. Our grandfather was also born in Wales-in Taliesin just a little north and east of Aber. We rented a car and drove around-quite a challenge. My great grandparents were from Taliesin and also the Capel Seion and Dolypandy areas. Don't know if any of those ring a bell with you. Anyway, thanks again for the wonderful viewing experience. Sincerely, Melody Schloss 18 Jan 2004 Dear Venita, I just checked out your web site. You have done a marvelous job!! Your pictures are beautiful and your descriptions are great!! I've never done a web site but my son makes web sites user friendly. I'm sure he would say you have done a great job. Thank you for sharing with us. Helen Jane 25 Jan 2004 Your site is WONDERFUL!!!!!! It is nice finding cousin you don't know that shares their info with others... I am off of Frances Potts sister Alice. I am so grateful that you are sharing your info..I hope to talk to you more and share more with you... Thank you.... Your site is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!! Patti 29 Jan 2004 I've just visited your web page. Glad to see you enjoyed your visit to Wales. It's surprising how many people in the world are unaware of our small little nation. Nice to see you've given my book a mention. Hope it fuelled your imagination and helped to set the scene on our remote, mysterious and sacred places. Regards Brian S Griffiths 3 Feb 2004 Hello Venita, What you are proposing [Just Picture It - Scotland] sounds excellent to me. Being so far away I love to see photos of the homelands. I have bookmarked those urls you sent as I have Welsh forbears on my husbands side to research but the Danish site I bookmarked because I love to look at beautiful places. Cheers, Cherilyn in Melbourne 3 Feb 2004 Hello, I would just like to thank you for you excellent review of Old Merthyr Tydfil as I am helping Alan and Geoff on promotion. Your site is really good. Thanks, L Rees Old Merthyr Tydfil Promotion 23 Feb 2004 Hi Venita Lovely photos - what a beautiful part of the world to live in. Nice website. Cheers Jill, Jill Muir Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Oxfordshire, UK 25 Feb 2004 Venita, I have thoroughly enjoyed the photos on your site. Many of them are quite beautiful. Especially liked seeing the photos of the old farm ruins. We have never been to Wales, live in the USA, but the old (Thomas) family farm is in LLanddeusant, Carms. I imagine at this point that it looks something like your pictures. Thanks for sharing. Patricia Van Wagenen Heffernan Atlanta, Georgia 26 Feb 2004 I am 76 years old, and have travelled quite widely all over Wales and taken many photographs. I was introduced to your wonderful pictures both of camera and words by a friend who also knows Wales pretty well. Having watched and read your descriptions we both agree that we are that much richer for having done so. A sincere thank you and assurance that your rights will be protected by those of us who have been delighted by your efforts. Thanks again. R.A.G 28 Feb 2004 Re: St. David's Cathedral Just looked at your photos, glad to see you did us proud. Regards Tony Rogers Keyston, Pembrokeshire 28 Feb 2004 Re: St. David's Cathedral Have just taken *the tour* and many thanks for sharing this with all of us. The pictures are absolutely stunning! Kind regards, Sally in USA 28 Feb 2004 Re: Views of Wales Great pictures - Venita!!!! Thank you, Richard 28 Feb 2004 Re: St. David's Cathedral Lovely photos, well done! Mary in wet & soggy New Zealand 28 Feb 2004 GREAT pics of St Davids!. Much better photography than mine when my daughter and I were there about 1995. 29 Feb 2004 Dear Venita, Thank you so much for the pictures you put on your site, it truly brings my genealogical research closer to home. Thanks again Pat Buttars 29 Feb 2004 I went through your web site and it was so wonderful. I have genealogy in Wales and Denmark. The pictures you had on Wales help me to decide to set a goal of visiting there in the next 2-3 years. I have "hiraeth" and want to find where my people lived, worked, played, and died. Thanks. You lit a fire in my soul. Darlene Nelson 4 Mar 2004 To The Wonderful World, I am so blessed for Venita is my Aunt and you have experienced but a bit of her love for life, family and her church. She has a way of touching life for good. Each picture in a way is a self reflection of her love to share her life and world with others. Venita you are GRRRRREAT!!!! By the way I am named after my beautiful Aunt and every time I visit this site I discover something new we have in common. Teaching and photographer are just two areas we share a passion in! Love Hollee G 11 Mar 2004 Hello Venita, I've been lost in the beaututiful countryside, gently rolling seas and envisioned myself wandering through the old castles of yesteryear. Your website is undoubtedly one of the most informative and lovely tour of Wales that I have ever seen. My family came from Cwmtwrch and I almost felt I was there going through the daily living. Ella Hudnall 11 Mar 2004 I have been into your web site with the ancestors. I have not really dug into it in depth until now. I'm impressed, you have done a lot. Thanks for all your hard work and the time you've spent on it. It has been so fun to read and copy some of the histories and to see the pictures. Carlene 7 Apr 2004 Venita, You have lovely site. I saw your link on the Reunion Talk site and gave it a click. Wish I had the talent to do some thing this nice. Barbara Pollock Pines, CA 7 Apr 2004 I stumbled upon your website.  My husband descends from Parley Henry Lambert & Myrtle Ivy Johnson.  Is there still a lambert Family Reunion?  Are there sources of stories about Parley and his siblings? Thank you for your time, Anita Lambert 8 May 2004 Hi Venita I very much enjoyed visiting your website, and will doubtless be back for more visits in the future. I loved your photographs - they brought back many memories of my upbringing in Glamorgan. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photography with the world. I also want to thank you for the links to other sites of Welsh photographs. I have just spent a very enjoyable few hours looking at everything. Thank you again. Kind regards Ruth Curtis Adelaide, South Australia 7 May 2004 Hi Venita! Another Parry here! From the Parry Family of Monmouthshire/Gwent. I am wondering what genealogy software you use that has the photos attached in the boxes with the names? Your site is wonderful! Thank you, Sue Parry 7 May 2004 Hi Venita On Ruth's recommendation I had a little wander around this afternoon. I will return and study in more detail. Regards Brian 9 May 2004 Thank you for showing Pen y Wern Farm on the net. My grandparents lived on a small farm near by, a place called Gellie. My mother as a child was very friendly with the family living at Pen y Wern especially one of the girls, her name as we knew her was Mary Ann (Dderwen.) The year would have been around 1925/1935. I wonder if you have any more information off that area during that time. Yours Sincerely Reg Harries PS: My grand parents names were Hammer 17 Jun 2004 Great photos [of Utah], I know where I'm going on vacation! Thanks Mel From Ca. 21 Jun 2004 Hi I was just wandering through the net and found your site. I loved the music especially of big rock candy mountian... Sharon Gallup (Canada) 22 Jun 2004 Nice photos [of historic St. George]. I also like the historical commentary. Thanks, Roger L. 3 Jul 2004 I have this same picture. My Grandparents were Frank and Emmeline Carpenter. My parents were Otto and Larue Carpenter. My brother Richard Carpenter is like the family Genealogist. I will check with him. This is really a great site. Thank you Don H. Carpenter 6 Aug 2004 Venita, I just found your wonderful web site.  Thanks so much for sharing this information and the photos. I am descended from John Lambert and Adelia Groesbeck, through their daughter Mary Adelia and William Gibson. So, I guess we are half cousins... Best wishes, Kathleen Gibson, greatgranddaughter of William Gibson 11 Aug 2004 Hi Venita, My name is Bert Hunter. I love your page, just love it.. my link is Martha Adelaide Lambert and William Riley Green, great great grandparents. Julia Mariah Green, and Henry Albert Nash my great grandparents.   I have an old picture of John Lambert and family, I have no idea on who is who in the family pictures. and a picture of Adelia Groesbeck. I'll send them if you want. about 1 meg each.   Bert Hunter Tooele, Ut. 25 Aug 2004 I was doing a search on Google, and came across your .Mac homepage with all of your genealogy stuff. Very neat site! If your still into genealogy and still using a Mac, I've setup a website, http://www.macgenealogy.org , that is geared towards Mac users who are into genealogy. Please don't take this as spam - I just thought I'd mention it, since genealogy information for Mac users is hard to come by. C. Osten 27 Aug 2004 Hi Venita I stumbled on your site whilst researching the Lambert Line. Firstly I must say that yours is a very professional site. I was interested to see that your line goes back to Joseph but then ends around 1700. My own researches and input from others, has allowed me to trace my line back as far as Sir Randolphus. Of interest to you may be that I have Josias (or Joeph) Lambert born 1554 at Kirkby Malham. He has a son Josias on who I have nothing. A son called John (b abt 1584), from who I am descended. He also has a son called John, 35 years later with a different wife Ann Pigott who is the famous Major John. Now I expect there is a good chance that son Josias' line leads down to yours. I wonder if you have tried to go further up. Kind Regards Andy 1 Sep 2004 Venita: I just finished your wonderful website which I found on the ReunionTalk site. I really enjoyed it as I have been to many of the places in Utah and have visited Wales. About five years ago our church choir traveled through the UK and sang at St. David's Cathedral in Wales. Our parish here in Pennsylvania is also named after St.David's. Did you have profession guidance in creating your site? I was really impressed with it and your photography. Sincerely, Craig A. TenBroeck 31 Oct 2004 Hi, my name is Janna Kelly.  I came across your web page for Hans Larsen and Eline Dorthea Stromborg Bentzen last week and found a listing for some of my relatives.  George Robert Miller and Eva Mareta Hansen were my great-grandparents.  My grandmother is Wanda June Miller (Standley).  I was sharing this information with my father and we were wondering what your name is and how you are related...    I've been slowly gathering genealogy information and I'm very interested in any further information you can provide, as well as additional web sites I can visit... Janna Kelly 10 Nov 2004 So beautiful your pictures. I hope to visit Wales some day whenever I can find out what part of the country my family came from. I know it is a small county and I will proberly visit all of it but in the mean time I would like to concentrate on the area they came from. Just wanted you to know that I do appreciate your pictures. Arlene 11 Nov 2004 WALES.....   You have a wonderful web site about Wales...took me hours to view it.   When you get the time, please view my web site about Wales in 1944. At: http://macswitch.tripod.com/279thstationhospital/ Thanks.   Carl F McDaniel In Pa. 1 Dec 2004 Hallo Venita,   Thank you for sharing your photographs.  I had two magical holidays in Oxwich Bay when I was a child.  In those days, we didn't have cameras to capture the memories.  I have long yearned to see it again and you have helped fulfil those yearnings.  Many thanks.  Brenda Eastwood from Oz 2 Dec 2004 Venita, your site was great before, and even better now. You inspire me to try to get around to fixing my own up much better. Thanks for sending this on. Paula 2 Dec 2004 Hi Venita I enjoyed your website .. and the pictures are great I noticed one of your kids lived in Orem .. my daughter used to live in Orem too, and is now in North Carolina with her hubby and his family and our little granddaughter. I figure you must be LDS... me too... kind regards Georgina 2 Dec 2004 Hi welsh thoughts and greetings. Just took a look as I do often of your lovely pages.

Thanks for the pics Regards and wishes. Gerwyn 2 Dec 2004 Fantastic website! I plan to go back and enjoy more of it. Isabelle in Virginia (Denmark-L) 4 Dec 2004 Hello Venita, Very interesting to see your photos at St.David's on your web. My Dutch father was her with my mother in 1949 before marriage. Have a photo of dad taken on the steps of the palace ruins. Strangely enough my father passed away this year on St.David's day. So you can understand that these photos of you are very special to me. Regards Elwyn - Netherlands. 9 Dec 2004 Wow, I idlely typed in "john pack" and came across your website and am very impressed and very grateful. I did not have a photo of my great great Grandfather John Lambert, nor a good one of Adelia. I have some family histories...I have downloaded the appropriate photos and hope they will print off for me. Thank you for your time on this. It is a valuable work and very much appreciated. Janet
