   Many years ago when I got interested in family history, I visited the   
   area in North Wales where my Taid had lived.  I had not been there for   
   many years so was trying to work out the way up to his old house.   
      
   A man came across from a house over the road, probably just being nosey   
   but when cam back to my car he invited me inside and answered some   
   questions about Taid and his family.   
      
   I also went into the village and was trying to work out where he was   
   born, I went and asked in a small Post Office. I taken through into the   
   house and shown a book on the history of the school that had been over   
   the road, lots of my family were listed as having given money to build   
   the school.   
      
   P.S. The school is now An Caban in Brynrefail and has a very good cafe   
   (presume it is still open).
