I can trace my Trahern to the 1720's in Maryland, but would really love to know where the Trahern's came from in Wales...

Hi again,
There is a family around here who own and run a Care Business, it is called Treherne Care. Moya Treherne recently died, her husband is called Roy. Quite well to do I believe

Thanks...the only immigrant I know of isn't a known relative, he came in 1634 I think on the Truelove or something like that as a bondsman. I know that once here the three trahern families I can trace all were property owners and well off, but I don't think they were gentry when they came.

There are also Treharnes in Carmarthen.

I play croquet in the grounds of Dyffryn House near Cardiff, which belonged at one time to Sir Cenydd Traherne, the Lord Lieutenant of Glamorgan. Sadly, though, the name is a lot more common than you might think in Wales (though not compared to Jones of course ), as you will see if you put Trahern* into the Search box of the National Library of Wales catalogue. You may, however, be able to do an advanced search using the earlier dates that you have.

I also recollect the Trahern surname from my school days in Wrexham , North Wales.

Perhaps something like this or this would help?

I had no idea it was a common name. prior to 1850 there were only three families in the states, two of which I think are related, one of them mine. Based on what I learned about my English families, aside from coming over as bonded servants, which may be a different circumstance all together, most seemed to come over for religious reasons. So I remember, but forget the dates, sorry, about King James of Scotland becoming the King of England, and the religious fallout especially with his son or was it grandson Charles I think? So was Wales involved in all the religous turmoil too? I really don't know much about the history of Wales
