Two volumes, written at the end of the nineteenth century, by Thomas Morgan Joseph-Watkin, Portcullis Pursuivant of Arms, serving as an index to the Gilfach Pedigree Books (now NLW MS 23967i-iiE).
The first volume (23968iE) contains letters A-Pe of an index to family names, continued with letters Ph-Y in the second volume (23968iiE, pp. 181-315), which also contains an index to place-names (pp. 2-172). A pedigree chart by Joseph-Watkin, compiled [1894x1913] (NLW Rolls 62), shows that he was himself related to the Gilfach family.

A two-volume collection of pedigrees, mainly of South Wales families, compiled during the 1830s (23967iE watermark 1828; 23967iiE watermark 1831), with some later additions, by David Jones Lewis, Gilfach, Llanwrda, Carmarthenshire.
A duplicate set of these volumes, also written by David Jones Lewis, are the 8 volumes of Gilfach MSS in the College of Arms, London (see Francis Jones, A Catalogue of Welsh Manuscripts in the College of Arms (London, 1988), pp. 69-71), which are dated by colophon to 1830. This duplication is mentioned in a note, dated 8 July 1895, in 23967iE, p. 1, by Lewis's grandson, David Jones Lewis of Llwyncelyn, Llanwrda, who has also overwritten parts of the earlier text, as well as adding pedigrees relating to the Lewis family, [1895] (pp. 1438-50), and a copy of 'an account of the Lewis family in the handwriting of my late grandfather', 1896 (pp. 1494-6). There are minor additions relating to the Lewis family, to at least 1978, in several different hands (pp. 1438-41, 1448-50). A copy of an unpublished account, [1990s], of the Lewis family of Gilfach and Llwyncelyn, including references to the Pedigree Books, is now NLW ex 2511. An index to these two volumes is now NLW MS 23968i-iiE.
