RootsWeb: Genealogy Mailing Lists: Wales : WLS-USK-WYE-VALLEY
Just been appointed ADMIN of this list
"Topic: A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in the area between the river Usk and the river Wye in Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom."
actually an the whole catchment area is enormous area covering several counties, but a very quiet list
RootsWeb: WLS-USK-WYE-VALLEY-L Archives
a busy list runs at about 10 posts a day or 2 or 300 a month
a very busy group at 2 to 300 A DAY
During the YUGOSLAVIAN war those usenet groups were running at 1500 posts a day
As an ante-war type, for obvious reasons I did a little but used a special email address just in case . . .
So I have neen copy pasting some stuff together RootsWeb: WLS-USK-WYE-VALLEY-L Archive (September 2003)
dropping a lot of names to make more hits likely in GOOGLE searches
like:-
USK / Afon Wysg
Trebinshun / Trebinshwn

I think that map is beautifully drawn
but Multimap has more to offer Multimap.com - Online Maps to Everywhere
but to get there is tricky
A neigbour Regent Executive - Trebinshun
wow a nice picture and a 16 page brochure but NO post code part of the English as a foriegn language industry

Which is when when my great grand-uncle William Henry Watkins was there, or his widow and children at least as I do not have his date of death yet.
just click on enlarged viwe for a treat
Quite a big orchard where the cider apples grew, as well as eaters and cookers and pears and mistletoe and cherries and plums .. .
eaten fresh off the tree as a child - or windfalls.
All that from a post code
see the contours 600 700 800 900 feet getting closer as they get higher so a it is concave glacier formed valley - best for sheep farming to this day.
I was taught map reading as a military skill
Cathedine Comon and so shered grazing rights there.
