The Mystery of the Tregaron Neanderthals
The second paragraph to the first subheading, The tale of the Welsh Neanderthals, advises us that "Why did the Oxford professor choose the Tregaron region, which is a mountainous area of East Wales centred on the mountain plateau of Plynlimmon and part of the wider, ill-defined district of Elenydd, the Green Desert of Wales, the loneliest, least populated part of the Principality of Wales, a land of small towns and widely spread sheep farms and dark night skies unsullied by artificial illumination? The reason was that Tregaron and Elenydd in general has a relict population, one that has been stable in the area for many thousands of years, probably going back to the first post-ice age settlers of Britain."
Unitedstatesians admire British Isles-ers as world-best family historians and genealogists. Is there an oldest-known, valid genealogical account for Tregaron specifically and Elenydd generally?
