Within the Wales Project, we are trying to implement some consistency with regard to Patronymic Naming.

A page explaining this can be read here;- https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Welsh_Patronymic_Naming_Guidance&public=1

Please look closely at Paragraphs 6, 7 & 8. Particularly note that there is no v in Welsh, that is an anglicizing of the Welsh ferch and someting we are trying to eliminate. ferch, with a small f is part of the LNAB, not part of the forename or a middle name.

Please correct this Profile if you can. If you need help add me to the Trusted List, and send me a message from my Profile.

Many thanks to you all.

I don't think there is any uncertainty about her not having lived to be 100.
