Aberbargoed, a village on the eastern side of the Rhymney River in Monmouthshire, Wales, is a place that holds a special significance in the minds and hearts of our family. Our ancestors with surnames James, Davies, Phillips, Edmunds, Lawrence, Morgan and others have called Aberbargoed home. These images are from the James family album. |
