(Sunset at Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales)PICTORIAL VIEWSOFPICTON GENEALOGICAL SITES(Related to the Pembrokeshire, Wales area)WelcomeThis website is an to attempt to understand what my Picton ancestors viewed, felt, and experienced in Pembrokeshire starting in the 1100's. I took this journey during February and March of 2004. Additional pictures were taken while attending the Picton Reunion during the last week of June, 2015. It is believed that Pictons and their descendants have lived near Picton Castle or within view of the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshore until the present time. I try to give a view and feel of what they experienced.Most say there are three branches of Picton's in Pembrokeshire. Much of this pictorial deals with those from the North Pembrokeshire branch who were "The Picton's of Newport and Nevern". The other two branches are the Pictons of Haverfortwest and the Pictons of Poyston. Everyone feels the three branches are related but no one has been able to tie them together.I felt on this journey that I would be able to find a few locations where my Picton ancestors lived such as towns but I had no idea that even the farms names still exist. An additional comment: If the Picton's have been here 100's of years then through there wives ancestors, I ask why not 1000's. The 5,500 year old burial chambers had to to built by someone. The Demetae Tribe is the name of the Celtic tribe of people who lived in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire about 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Look who our ancestors were. We have descendants of the Demetae Tribe, the Romans, the Irish when they invaded, the Vikings, the Normans, the Flemish from Flanders and the English all mixed up into one mixing pot of ancestors. Amateur metal detectorists are finding thousands of Bronze and Iron Hoards in Great Britain including Wales left by ancient people who lived here.
