WikiTree says this person is one of my lineal ancestors, so I adopted this orphaned profile.

Would someone please explain the difference between "ferch" and "verch"?

The Welsh alphabet does not have a "v" - the "f" in "ferch" sounds like a v, so the English spelled it "verch" (both mean "daughter of").
