                                            THREE CONFLATED BRECKNOCK FAMILIES
                                                    By Darrell Wolcott
 
          Perhaps the only man in these families that the average Welsh genealogist might recognize is Owain Gethin ap Owain of Glyntawe Parish in Cantref Mawr..  Bartrum charted the ancestry and descendants of a single Owain Gethin on his charts "Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 28, 29 and 30" with only minor suggestions that something might be amiss here. [1]
 
          Our granular chronological analysis of all the relationships shown on these 3 charts disclosed that Bartrum's charts conflate 3 separate families which contain same-named strings of men, each born a full generation later than the earlier one.  In fact, there were 5 men named  Owain Gethin ap Owain, two of which occur in both Family #2 and Family #3 as identified below.
 
         The following chart identifies the roots of each family found on the Bartrum charts mentioned above:
 
                                           1015  MAENYRCH ap DRYFFIN

         FAMILY #1                   FAMILY #2                                  FAMILY #3

NOTABLE SAME-NAME STRINGS:

          While there are several duplicated name strings of 6 generations or less within these families, there are three which are especially interesting:

      a.  Family Two, Item 25 shows the end of a 10 name string which includes Rhys and Isabel, children of Gruffudd ap Ieuan Melyn.  The entire string is duplicated by a Famiy Three Item 23 line which also ends with Rhys and Isabel, children of another Gruffudd ap Ieuan Melyn.

      b.  On Family Two Item 23, we find a 9 name string ending with Sioned (Jonet) ferch Gwilym ap Thomas.  All 9 names are duplicated by Family Three Item 21 ending with another Sioned ap Gwilym ap Thomas.  While the final Sioned (Jonet) of Family Two did have two marriages, the husband assignments charted by Bartrum on his "Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 30(A1)" incorrectly distribute the 3 husbands to the 2 Jonets (who he charted as sisters). 

     c.  There are 5 occurrences of the name-string "Gruffudd ap Owain Gethin ap Owain ap Caradog" in these families.  See Family One, #5, Family Two #7 and #24, and Family Three, #7 and #19.


NOTES:
[1]  For example, he charts 2 different lines for the father of a single Gwilym, gives Owain ap Caradog sons not born in the same generation as each other, and gives Gruffudd ap Owain Gether two wives born 60 years apart.
