For #InternationalDayofFamilies today, the #DiversityProject of the #Bywgraffiadur is celebrating the Wood family.

'There are of course other tribes of gipsies in Wales, such as the Ingram's, the Boswell's, and the Lovell's, but the Wood's deserve special mention, for two reasons. In the first place, the tribe is so large and wide-spread that the expression ' Abram Wood's family' (in some places called ' Alabama's family') became a generic term in the rural areas for gipsies as such [...]. Secondly, for nearly two centuries this tribe provided Wales with a remarkable line of harpists.' -- Robert Thomas Jenkins
