  • Two years after his dad’s death, actor and comedian Greg Davies retains a sense of connection to his Welsh roots, and wants to explore hints of a family secret.

    Greg Davies's father made sure that his son was born on Welsh soil so that when Greg became a rugby international, he would play for Wales. Fortunately for comedy, Greg showed little talent for rugby, but he retains a sense of connection to his Welsh roots and, two years after his dad's death, wants to know more about them. Greg gets more than he bargained for when he identifies a wayward great-grandfather but is rewarded when the trail leads further back to the deepest Welsh roots anyone could wish for.

    Started looking into my family history years ago, i have discovered my family living in a village not more than 15 miles from where i live back in the reign of Henry 8th. I have also found out the family were founding fathers of the USA & i have uncovered some very famous relatives!. It really is a brilliant thing to do, finding your roots.

    If she worked as a maid for a family and the two daughter's father is unnamed, my guess is that it would be either the head of the household she worked for or another male family member within the family who impregnated her either consensually or unconsensually.
