Biography
Gwgan ap Gwgan was born about 1105. His father, Gwgan Blaidd Gwyrdd (the green wolf), was born about 1075.[1]
Gwgan's son Cadifor (Cydifor) was born about 1145. Gwgan's grandson Gruffudd Gŵyr (b c1175) married Catryn (b c1190), daughter of Sir Elidyr and his wife Sissely.[1][2]
Research Notes
Son "Gwallter", also estimated to have been born c1145,[3] is not mentioned in Wolcott's article[1] but this Gwgan ap Gwgan provides a missing generation that allows for Gwallter's grandson Walter to be living in 1298.[4]

- ↑ Wolcott's analysis summized that a generation was missing from Bartrum's charts ("Cydifor ap Gwgon ap Bleddyn"), which he later identified: "(a) We suspect the missing generation was either another Gwgan or another Cadifor, omitted from pedigrees by scribes who thought it was a duplication NOTE: Subsequent research indicates the son of Bleddyn was called Gwgan Blaidd Gwyrdd (the green wolf) and his son was Gwgan ap Gwgan born c. 1105" (#Wolcott)

Bartrum has just the one Gwgan (spelled Gwgon), who is both son of Bleddyn and father of Gwallter (as Bartrum spells it), so that's no help. And, like Bartrum's chart, the image attached to Philip Gwys's profile* also has just one Gwgan (that chart also shows their son, "Sir Walter Wgan"). A Genealogie Online tree has her attached to both Gwgans.

"The above Gronwy [c1130] ap Einion also married Gwladys (c. 1145) ferch Cadifor (c. 1115) ap Gwgan (c. 1075) ap Bleddyn (c. 1045) ap Maenyrch[12]"
It also shows a later Cadifor as son of a missing generation (either Gwgan or another Cadifor) - edit - chart copied in fine but upon saving lost all spacing/line breaks, so I deleted it. See the Wolcott article, the chart with a "Cadifor 1140" as son of "x (a)", which is son of "Gwgan 1075" ap "Bleddyn 1045"
The profile attached as son of Gwgan ap Bleddyn is Cadifor ap Gwgan (abt.1125-), as of this date.
