My grandfather, Jim Erasmus was born in Herefordshire in approx. 1896 but lived most of his life in Crumlin, Newbridge area of Monmouthshire, South Wales.
As this name appears to be of Netherland or even South African extraction, can anyone tell me how my grandfather ended up in Wales. p.s. Nobody in the family has
any idea of any roots apart from Welsh, there are no family stories, so the Welsh part must go back a long way. Please help. This is a real mystery. Please e-mail me at
