Greetings CCMBers, I come to you via West Wales, Mid Wales, South Wales, the Valleys, the Marches and the Herefordshire border (by all of 100 yards).

However, my Cardiff connections actually stem from County Durham, where I can trace my roots back to 1750, as a family of blacksmiths, miners and steel workers. My great grandfather moved from County Durham to Splott in around 1891 to work at the newly opened steel works,
