RN #226 Bridge Peroids Family Studies

There are times in the family tree that represent periods that bridge one generation to the next.  For my JONES family these were several.   From north Wales to the county of Kent,  the county of Kent to London, from London to the shores of Virginia, and from Virginia to Kentucky are the major transition periods.  They "bridge" the geographic locations which initially would seemed unrelated.  This notebook contains my family research into these "bridge periods".

The next group of research notebooks begins my family tree research on the other side of the great pond.  It begins with my first attempt to put together the family tree from the earliest days in the mountains of Wales.  This notebook (#153) starts with what was discovered after some 40 years of genealogy.  It places each (grandfather) in rough historical context beginning Gadforch fl 850 AD to Robert Jones of  Llwyn-Onn fl 1550 .  Each generation is presented in sequence.
