Title: Coffadwrineth.
Post by: leefer on Monday, June 6, 2011, 13:34:33
Been doing some research on my family history and this Welsh word/meaning i cannot seem to translate....it may have no English meaning and my feeling is that it means something like... Peace perfect peace ,it is on many old Welsh gravestones.

Any defnate meaning would be a help,Thanks.
