Hi Folks,
A quick reminder that our open day will take place at the Michael Sobell
Sports Centre in Aberdare on 7th September. The centre has ample car parking
and is on the main route into Aberdare. For rail enthusiasts, it is a two
minute walk from the Valley Lines station at Aberdare, with it's links to the
main Inter City routes at Cardiff Central. It previously hosted our open day
in 1997.
a full list of participating societies and organisations is available on our
website

A new CD publication will be launched on the day, containing the Aberdare
1861 census returns and the marriage registers of the three principle
churches in the town, St Johns, St Elvans and St Fagans . The transcriptions
cover marriages from 1717 to 1925 and the CD also features old and new
photographs of the three churches.
all of our branches will be there, with their local expertise they are an
invaluable source to those with interests in all areas of the county.
I hope to see you there
Andy
