Hello Angharad I am the Beryl Hughes Jones (now Griffiths) referred to who
collated the grave inscriptions at yr Hen Gapel. I do have some information
about both Buarthmeini and Talardd - what are you looking for? I've found
that I can access all the Llanuwchllyn nonconformist registers on Ancestry
now. It is important to note that the congregation actually split during
Michael Jones's (Michael D Jones's father) time as minister - but the
registers for both congregations are available on Ancestry. Could the
Buarthmeini family have attended Penstryd in Trawsfynydd? Baptisms for
Penstryd are also available on Ancestry and on film in the Dolgellau Record
Office.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Beryl

Are there researchers over there that would look up family records? If so,
what kind of cost would be involved?

Angharad,
I checked Coflein for the Royal Commission's notes regarding Yr Hen
Gapel in Llanuwchllyn. The first chapel was built in 1746 and rebuilt
in 1810 and 1871. Interesting to note that Michael D. Jones, the
promoter of Welsh settlement in Patagonia, is buried there.
As to the chapel records listed on the web, I can only confirm what
you probably already know:
- Births and baptisms 1831-37 at the National Archives at Kew -
copies at the London Family History Society (with proviso that the
Society's record online also refers to B/B records for the period
1815-1837)
- Arysgrifiau Cerrig-coffa Capel Rhos y Fedwen (Memorial stones at
Rhyd y Fedwen) , an 11-page booklet written by Beryhl Hughes Jones.
You might also check with Gwynedd Archives in Dolgellau under the
file Church and Chapel records (Z/DP/2 and Z/DP/2/5 in particular).
There may also be information in a book by R.T.Jenkins titled "Hanes
Cynylleidfa Hen Gapel Llanuwchllhyn (History of the Congregation of
Hen Gapel, Llanuwchllyn) published in 1937 (
http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/
s-EVAN-THO-1714.html). And the possibility that members of family may
have been buried in adjoining parishes.

Is anyone researching the families who lived at Buarth Meini, or
Talardd, Llanuwchllyn. Would be interested to hear from anyone with
any information about these families.
Other than the baptisms for the Llanuwchllyn independent chapels on
Family Search does anyone know whether the baptisms and burials for
Rhosyfedwen chapel ( Hen Gapel) and the Ebenezer chapel are
deposited or kept elsewhere and whether there are earlier baptism
and burial records going back to the first decade of the 19th
century. The Buarth Meini family of that period are not buried or
baptised at Llanuwchllyn Church. Later family members have been
buried at Rhosyfedwen.
