The name of the artical should be whichever name the estate is officially, and known the most in. So if the name is officially Trawsgoed, then that should be the name of the artical. Will wait a week before changing the name for other comments.♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk08:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
I found information that documents the estate church of Afan at Trawsgoed was established by Saint Afan in the 6th century. I added the documentation to the Saint Afan page. I would think this should be documentation of the name of Trawsgoed a bit before even the Vaughns in 1200. No mention of Crosswood in this information. From all the research I've done so far, Crosswood is only mentioned in parens as the English translation of the name. I say move the article to Trawsgoed. I will also see what else I can come up with. Weren't the Vaughn's decended from Cunedda? ∞☼Geaugagrrl(T)/(C)06:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
