Just local ladies who love local history. Rocesi lleol sy’n caru hanes lleol.
| Erthygl o bapur bro ‘Y Llien Gwyn’, Ionawr 2022. Mae’r wefan hon yn ddathliad o hanes Abergwaun, Wdig a’r ardal. Mae pump ffrind, – Janet Thomas, Hilary Roscoe, Hedydd Hughes, Mary Robinson a’r ddiweddar Val Hennessey, wedi cyfarfod yn rheolaidd yn Abergwaun ers bron i 10 mlynedd i sganio lluniau a dogfennau a chreu cronfa ddata ddigidol o hanes lleol. Ers 2010, cynhaliwyd pump arddangosfa a rhoddwyd nifer o sgyrsiau. O’r cychwyn cyntaf ein nod oedd gwefan, a nawr mae’n realiti! Cafodd Janet, Hedydd a Mary eu magu’n lleol tra symudodd Hilary i’r ardal bron i 25 mlynedd yn ôl. Mae Janet a Hilary rhyngddynt wedi gweithio yn llyfrgell y dref ers dros 60 mlynedd, mae Hedydd yn athrawes ysgol gynradd, ac mae Mary yn gweithio fel archifydd yn Archifau Sir Benfro. Mae arbenigedd Val wrth ddarllen dogfennau cyfreithiol (bu’n gweithio fel clerc cyfreithiol ar un amser ) yn cael ei golli’n fawr (fel y mae Val ei hun!!) Mae gennym ddiddordeb bob amser mewn recriwtiaid newydd, felly os ydych chi’n meddwl yr hoffech gyfrannu at y wefan, cysylltwch â ni. | An article from the ‘Y Llien Gwyn’ local newspaper, January 2022. This site is a celebration of the history of Fishguard, Goodwick and the surrounding area. Five friends – Janet Thomas, Hilary Roscoe, Hedydd Hughes, Mary Robinson and the late Val Hennessey, have met regularly in Fishguard for nearly 10 years to scan photos and documents and create a digital database of local history. Since 2010, five exhibitions have been held and numerous talks given. From the outset our goal was a website, and now it’s a reality! Janet, Hedydd and Mary were brought up locally while Hilary moved to the area almost 25 years ago. Janet and Hilary have both worked at the town library for over 60 years between them, Hedydd is a primary school teacher, and Mary works as an archivist at Pembrokeshire Archives. Val’s expertise in reading legal documents (she once worked as a legal clerk) is greatly missed (as is Val herself !!) We are always interested in new recruits, so if you think you would like to contribute to the website, please get in touch. |
