Hello Jill,
This is one of my favourite places in Monmouthshire! It is really
beautiful and you will love it there:)) The railway, the river, the
Abbey.... and much more!
As for records, the Gwent Records office in Cwmbran and the Newport
Reference Library are not far away. For Parish Register entries,
baptisms, marriages and deaths, Gwent Records Office is best.
We're talking about a little area in Wales, so 5 days will be fine.
Send details to the list of any research you need to know. You will be
surprised what people on this list know. If not, email me and I can find
out.
best regards
Barrie Jones, Gwent

We will be coming to Tintern the second week of July. We will stay 5
days. I
am wondering what is the best way to find information on my Grandmother
Pugh's family? Are there death records and where. Will we be able to find
the home if I have a picture (1911)
I am just now realizing I need months to prepare not weeks!!
