About This Website
Launched on St. David's Day - 1st March 1996. An appropriate day (that of the Patron Saint of Wales) to launch this site, bearing in mind the strong Welsh connections of the name.
Starting with a focus on the author's family tree, it has now evolved into the website for the Skyrm(e) One-Name Study.
