Here are details of the latest release of interest to family historians from
the north of Wales from Rod Neep's excellent Archive CD books project.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the CD visit Rod's website
<A HREF="http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/">Archive CD</A>
and go to the All Wales Page.
For those not aquatinted with Rod's project, archive CD books copies old, out
of print, hard to get hold of, and very useful books for the family and local
historian, at an affordable price. There are about 900 UK CDs in the
catalogue at the moment, although the ones that refer to north west Wales are
few, they are all invaluable.
If you have an old book, that you think might be worth adding to the project,
why not offer to lend it to Rod to copy?
Has anybody got a copy of Powys Fadog or Lewis Dwn's visitations gathering
dust under the bed? Those are two books I would love to own on CD :-)
