Dyma lythyr oddi wrth Lewis Jones o Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania, dyddiedig Ionawr 18, 1960.
Hello folks
How are you all fine and in best of health I hope as it leaves us good at present. You will be surprised to hear from me as it was through Cousin Susie Thyler [?] of New York Mills N.Y. USA I got your address. I am related to you. My mother’s name was Mary Jones formerly Owens. She passed away several years ago. 9 years ago she was 83 years old. My father got killed in the mines 37 years ago. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Well here the story now my mother had a brother who went to Australia and she never heard from him so its possible that you are children of his so that’s why I am writing. Mother’s maiden name was Lewis Owen. Her father’s name was Lewis Owen. Her mother’s name was Jane Owen. I still have a photo of my Grandfather Owens. I was born in Bryn Helig, Llanfairfechan [?]. I was born in April 29, 1893 so I will be 67 this coming April. This will seem strange now to get in touch with relations I never knew. I served in First World War and was in Canadian Army and so some relations in Pennsylvania and N. Wales. I corresponding with John Jones relation on my father’s side. I have his address but haven’t heard from him for over 3 years. I sent photos to him twice never got an answer. I hope I may hear from you folks so will close with best wishes for prosperous New Year. Will be glad to hear from you anytime.
Yours as ever Cousin Lewis John Jones
