(1) Wikipedia describes the following Beli Mawr (Beli 'the Great') as "an ancestor deity in Welsh mythology". Wikipedia reports some other members of his family but, for the moment at least (so that we can 'keep control' of our work on these early Welsh families), we show only what we pick up from Griffith's Pedigrees. However, we note that Wikipedia reports that one of Beli's attributed sons, Casswallawn or Cassivellaunus, "was a historical British chieftain who led the defence against Julius Caesar's second expedition to Britain in 54 BC".
(2) Wikipedia reports quite specifically that this Beli Mawr "is often confused or conflated with" another Beli (ap Mynogan), which is the ancestry shown by Dwnn (on the continuation). Needless to say (given that this is all provided within the 'Ancient & Mythical' section of the database), the continuation, which provides a link back to Adam & Eve, should be treated with great caution.
