I have a publication called varteg School 1873 to 1995 and a Step into the
past by Mary wilcox about varteg life , I wonder if this is the one you mean
. I paid three pounds when I bought it and I am not sure how I managed to do
that now . It is interesting.

My grandfather, Llewellyn Davis, may have been born in Varteg abt. 1839.
His father, also Llewellyn, was a coal miner. At one time, before
emigrating to the USA in 1850/51, the family lived in Merthyr Tydvil. My
hope is to document my grandfather's birth.
Also, I believe there is a publication on the village of Varteg. If so, I
would very much like to know how to go about purchasing a copy.

I also had ancestors b. Varteg in the 19th Century. The following link is
to a Local History Society for that area, and has further links to
publications:
