If you have the opportunity, visit the National Library in Aberystwyth. If the records exist, they will probably have a copy there. I was very surprised when they retrieved the original paper document dated 1851 that put my great grandfather and his sisters under the legal guardianship of their uncle in Llanfihangel y Creuddyn. That paper shifted the focus of my research from Ysbty Ystwyth to LLanfihangel y Creuddyn. The cemetery is filled with headstones with the family name that go back to the early 1400s. I'm going to have to take an extended trip to tend to the cemetery, clear the briars and record all the family information. The village is so small that nobody takes the time to maintain the cemetery.

Here is the very best resource I have found on the web thus far for tracing Welsh ancestry. The owner of the site accepts only verified family histories which he posts himself. He runs a yearly e-mail address check for anyone who has a listing on his site. The reference links on the site are kept updated.

The owner of the site lives in South Wales and is also a professional photographer. He accepts photographic commissions from those interested in viewing places where their Welsh ancestors lived. He has posted many beautiful photos depicting life in Wales and historical landmarks. Welsh Family History Archives

Aberystwyth, my home town. "Croeso" to my fellow Taffy's. Nice to know there are many out there who are Freepers too.
