Welcome to this site about some Jones, Morgan and related
families from Banwen,
Coelbren and
Onllwyn.
These tiny villages are at the top of the Dulais and Neath Valleys on the
border of Breconshire
and Glamorganshire,
South Wales.
We tell the stories of the people and places through historical and geographical
contexts since the mid
eighteenth century.
