Well, others finding less than good help at the LDS family Library? Let
your fingers do the search.
The LDS family search site on line is the place to go. GET Your
information, print it out and take it to your local library where they can
order it. I had trouble today but knew enough to place my order.
Warning:::: the site is quite a challenge for first time users.
Find the screen that lets you do the "PLACE" search. type in the name of
place you want to search. If not found go to the next largest political
division.
When you think you have the right location.---- then look up in right top
corner of screen. Look for film notes- from that point on just keep
searching till you get to the correct film number. Print that screen(if you
have print screen) or just try to print the page. BE CAREFUL
when your screen window for printing comes up, tell it to print present
page. Otherwise you may get fifty or more unwanted pages.
If you still cannot locate it send me an email telling me exactly what you
want and I will see what I can do.

Subject: [Bla'Gwent] Tredegar records
I was wondering if someone would be able to help me. Dose anyone know of
the LDS
Family History Library there nearest to Tredegar.
I'm just very frustrated with my LDS Library. (I am a member of the church
so I
say it with love) The people there are doing their best, but not very
informed with Wales and have been not much help.
Then the Family History Catalogue were you can order films is so
confusing. I am
willing to put in the leg work or should I say eye work, and
search films but I would at least like to try and get the right films for my
area. I have ordered 7 films from them for what I thought were either Parish
of Bedwellty records for marriages and births and then census for Tredegar
1851, 1861, 1871 . .... I did get half of 1871 but that was it. I need help
getting the right films ordered.
Or someone to tell me EXACTLY how to get the right stuff of the different
family
history society sites. I am willing to buy those but only if they
have the right cities in them. It seems hit and miss and not all the
record are done. I don't want to buy it and not have Tredegar there. I am
willing to spend money but would like to know what I am buying before I pay
for it. The description on the census are not clear. Maybe it is just me and
I am not looking clearly. How do I know for sure if the town/city of
Tredegar is on what census. I know some of them are not complete. How do I
know.
I just want the census and records for the Tredegar area mid 1800's and I
was
hoping someone in the LDS family history center there would be able to
help me. I know my families are there, just a matter of looking.
Sorry to ramble, but I am coming out of the long Alaska winter and I still
have a
month to go. Things are getting testy here.
