Hi, it turns out that I'm a distantly related descendant of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruffydd_ap_Rhys. Is anyone else? Please let me know.

    Timothy, you can tag your question with a topic tag by clicking the down arrow to the side of your question. I have added a topic tag with the name of the individual.

     

    FamilySearch Community is indexed by the Google search engines, so if anyone types that name in at Google, they might see your question here. This trick will increase your exposure and hopefully help you get more attention to your question.

     

    You can add additional tags when appropriate.

    with Gruffydd ap Rhys being born in 1081 AD - he would literally have millions of descendants alive today - and since he is apparently part of the royal class - chances are virtually anyone who taps into Eurpean Royalty - would probably descend from - though it is so many generations back - many people may not have any clue that they do indeed descend from him.

    I would imagine that is at least 20-30 generations back from us today - at which point most of us would have literally many millions of ancestors - so in that way - it is just one name among millions others.

     

    what specifically were you wanting to know about him?
