What was the first names of your Grandparents?

@senghenydd its unusual for welshbancestors to be known by their actual names!! Lol. I learned that tracing my family tree!!! X

@RubySoo That's not in my case I've traced my roots back to 1775 and they as far as I know with one exception used their own names my Great Aunt Elizabeth was known as Lisa names like Gwen, Will for William Bob for Robert Dick for Richard etc.

@senghenydd im my dads family we had so many boys with the same first bames, be it William, David, Robert... so many were known but their middle names or nicknames. I looked was my grandfather under the bame we knew him by to discover his christian bame and surname were different on his birth certificate! Lol.
And so many variations of Elizabeth and Margaret! Made it quite tricky.

@RubySoo my Great Grandmother times four was called Ann and her Granddaughter was called Ann my Great Grandmother times three was called Elizabeth and her Granddaughter my Great Aunt was called Elizabeth names reoccurred my Grandmother was called Annie after her Grandmother who she resembled was Ann we have three Sylvia's in the family as well. We have 50-50 boys and girls although my Mothers ancestors the Women survived Smallpox whereas the Men didn't.

@senghenydd strong ladies!
I lost count od Anns and Margarets. Lol

@RubySoo There you are Ann's and Margret's they are obviously names in your family I remember Edward Jenner developed the Smallpox vaccine having noticed Milk Maids who developed Cow Pox milking cows survived Small Pox I don't know but putting two and two together I imagine they were milk maids and didn't realize that saved their lives.
