I too am trying to find information about John Rees and farther back. All I can find is his birth date and marriage date, and then information leading up to me.

That's my direct line... but I believe I only have a few journal entries and histories about John's conversion story. If you would like to see any of the historical information, I can scan it for you and e-mail it. My e-mail address is [e-mail].

I believe I have pedigree information for the earlier generations that I can also provide. I hope I can help.

The problem is there are so many Rees's in the records. It was a very popular name in the past and quite difficult to trace back, over time.
I have only gone back as far as 1891 because only in that way can I reliably check who is who.
I have the Birth, Death and Marriage certs for all those traced so far, but there could be any number of family ties between what you have and what I have.
If you find Ebenezer Rees, Married to Mary H. Rees (Davies) with David, Elizabeth and Morgan in the family, then we are probably on similar lines.
Get in touch and share notes.

Thanks,..........................Byron Rees.
