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.
Jill
