File NLW MS 24201F. - Taicroesion Pedigrees

A transcript, [c. 1904], in the hand of Thomas Parry of Penygroes, Caernarfonshire, of the Taicroesion Pedigrees, originally compiled in about 1723 by John Ellis of Taicroesion Uchaf, Llechylched, Anglesey, containing pedigrees of North Wales families, primarily those of Anglesey and Caernarfonshire (pp. 1-505).
The pedigrees are transcribed usually one to a page, on the rectos only; the pedigrees for Bodorgan (pp. 23-24), Gwedur (pp. 131-132), Llanddyfnan (pp. 187-188), Mysoglan (pp. 227-228), y Llys yn y Penrhyn (pp. 287-288), Stymllyn (pp. 317-318), Treiorwerth (pp. 343-344) and Mostyn (pp. 387-388) extend over two pages, while there are two pedigrees each on pp. 55, 479 and 495. The contents are listed on ff. v-vi. The text throughout is framed in double red lines and titles are stamped in black ink. Some twenty pedigrees have additions and corrections in pencil (pp. 2-423 passim). Another transcript by Thomas Parry, which is practically identical in content and format and presumably of similar date, is now NLW, Broom Hall MS Vol. 3; that volume is stated to have been copied from John Ellis's original manuscript (now Bangor MS 13564), then owned by the lawyer R. D. Williams, in 1904. Items found loose within the volume (6 ff.), including manuscript and printed pedigrees, have been tipped in on blank leaves (pp. 507-517).
