Hi Lynn
What cost is involved in joining a family history society please and is it worthwhile ? The name for Llanidloes is Jarman and there is a good site which used to have a lot of Jarman families on it but the info now that I am on the "trail "seems to have disappeared Just my luck !!!

Hi Val,

My Welsh relatives also have a common name (Morgan) and came from Llangyfelach, which isn't far from Tredegar and Merthyr. Despite that I have been able to find out a lot about them - if you haven't already, consider joining the Glamorgan Family History Society - they offer many parish records on CD (you don't have to be a member to buy them) at reasonable prices.

You can also try the National Archives of Wales and the Swansea Library sites - both these have lots of information on-line.

Google these sites and see what is available.

Good luck,

Lynn

Is the latest NBI info on familyhistoryonline or findmypast? Or is just some of it there?

Hi Debra
My family come from Tredegar and Merthyr
and linked to Llanidloes, although I am still waiting for certs to research that side and not looking forward to it as the name is so common there and I think it is going to be a bit of a nightmare

I had a look at these at my local LDS church - and there are gaps - especially in those places where I wanted the info - LOL!

Have a look here...

http://www.ffhs.org.uk/projects/nbi/nbi-coverage.php

Click on the county and it gives you the coverage for the individual county.
You can then work out whether what you need is covered.
