Thank you, Chris.There's an old town in south Wales called Kidwelly (Welsh spelling is Cydweli).We don't know if Kidwell is truly a Welsh name or if it's "British/English."I think the town existed prior to the Norman Conquest, so I'm hoping that it is a Welsh name.But, like all names,it seems to have numerous variations in spelling.When I saw Cadwell, I thought "uh-oh, that could be another variation!"I guess we'll just keep looking.
