I want to compliment you highly on the amazing extent and depth of your knowledge in this field as well as your obvious care about it. I believe that I have acquired a sense of the context for the genealogical research that lies ahead and will be working from these lessons for a long time to come.

May I say how fantastic this course has been. Thank you, thank you so much for all your hard work and encouragement.

I had hoped for some time that Pharos would run a Welsh Ancestors course and I have not been disappointed. The course was absolutely magical in its content and far exceeded my expectations. I hadn't realised before how complicated the Welsh history and culture was. It has certainly opened my eyes, has made me want to know more and made me realise why I may be experiencing some difficulties with my own Welsh research. Thank you Pharos and Eilir.
