"The Seventies teen idol visited Merthyr in 2004 to search for his roots with the help of BBC Wales."
"When international superstar Donny Osmond told BBC Radio Wales' Nicola Heywood-Thomas live on air that he thought he had Welsh ancestry, the ears of archivists in Wales started buzzing with excitement."
"It didn't take long for tongues to start wagging too, as the experts set about the search to find out if it could be true."
"It turns out Donny was right - the Osmond family can be traced back to Merthyr Tydfil as far back as 1585."
