Research Interests - May 1999

I was given a loan of a notebook with the "Family History" in it, connecting my family name of SUMMERS to the EVANS and THOMAS families, many of whom were Baptist Ministers as far back as 1625. The hard part was proving everyone to be related and then the resurrection of records for more details.

Thanks to the LDS, I have read lots of films and some from Broadmead Baptist Church, Bristol, where S. Summers and H. Evans were ministers and families are mentioned in great detail.

There are also reasonable amounts written about the ministers in Welsh Biography and National Biography, both found in the Alexander Library.

The THOMAS family were Tried by Cromwell's Triers at Neath during the Propogation of the Gospel in Wales (1649). These records have not surfaced yet.
