Hi again Yvonne, It is possible, because I am not used to Welsh place name spellings it could be, but I don't see the "tail" on a Y in the name.

Carol Whilst I think this is the James family I don't think this is the name of the farm. I think it's a mistranscription and think it might be Pencnwc Maybe someone can check the 1851 for you as in 1841 they are certainly at an address with a similar name.

Dick, The filter you are referring to is a polarising filter. These should be readily available. However, I say again that this will not help. You do not need a light from a window or flash to take picture of a computer screen. All the useful light for the picture will come from the screen itself. If you wish, I can send you any number of pictures of computer screens taken with hand held cameras. (In those cases I could not use the PrtScr procedure because USB sticks, floppies etc., were not allowed, so the image could not be taken off the computer.)

Hi- new to the list and searching for Thomas LEWIS b.1868, moved from the Haverfordwest-Milford Haven area when his father Thomas LEWIS (labourer) died (prior to 1889). Moved to Cardiff prior to 1889. Believed to be from a farm and to have other brothers, but the farm would only support the eldest brother. Names of brothers not known, but there may well be a William (witness to the marriage in 1889- groom a docks labourer at that time). This elusive chap has been difficult to find pre-Cardiff in any census prior to 1901 and 1911. Wondering if anyone has an interest in this family Tina

Hi, I would assume that both sets of parents gave consent because I have seen entries which specify which of the partners in the marriage, is under age and exactly who gave their consent. The marriage bonds which I have only give the name of the persons getting married, the parish where they live and where they intend to marry and the names of the people who would be liable for paying the bond if the marriage didn't take place. On the rootsweb site there are a number of West Wales Historical Reviews and Francis Green who edited the journals has copied most of the bonds. They can be difficult to find because he didn't do all in one journal and continued in subsequent volumes. I have found the bonds more by chance than anything but someone may be able to tell you how to use the volumes in order.

I found an entry in the parish register for Llawhaden in Pembrokeshire for the marriage of a Bridget James in 1821 who could just possibly be a relation of mine. (Even if there is no connection I would like to be able to eliminate her from further consideration). The entry in the parish record says she married George Furlong by licence with the consent of the parents. 20 February 1821 George FURLONG of the parish of Stackpole, bachelor, and Bridget JAMES, spinster of this [Llawhaden] Parish WERE MARRIED BY LICENCE WITH CONSENT OF THE PARENTS. George Furlong and Bridget James signed the register. The witnesses were Henrity [???] Webb and Richard James. The first name of the first witness was difficult to read. Does the phrase "consent of parents" mean both sets of parents or would it mean just the parents of whichever partner (probably the bride) was under the age of 21? Using the National Library of Wales website I found the index entry below for the couple's marriage bond. FURLONG, George, gent., Cheriton, PEM. 1821, February 17. At Llawhaden. Bridget James. A.,D. 39/44. Would the marriage bond give the parents' names and/or any other information that could be of use in tracing their ancestry? Roy

Hen Dy Cwrdd (The Old Meeting House) at Cefn Coed-y-cymer, near Merthyr Tydfil in the county of Glamorgan (six pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in June 2000. 2. A selection of flowers photographed in hedgerows and fields in the Welsh countryside (thirty pictures). This feature has never been shown since its first appearance on 'Images of Wales' in August 2003. Photography by John Ball and Venita Roylance. As usual, these webpages will be on display on my website for one week. 'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm After viewing the Retrospectives, please explore my 'Webpage Archive' and make your own Retrospective requests.

Many thanks to Dai and Angela ; John ;and Alison. In doubt that any more than a few of my welsh ancestors had enough money or possessions to warrant a will so I do not aim to abuse copyright NLWs digitised wills The idea of screen savers and the Mozilla - which I use - add on is fine for my laptop or home computer so I will investigate. Also I have adobe 6 pro which has features i have never checked. That still leaves me with other peoples computers eg LDS FHCs, libraries. microfiches etc and i have been in several ROs which have no or very few small high-up windows. I have doubts that there will be sufficient light coming from the screen for pics. If flash is unavoidable is it possible to eliminate the glare back?. I recall that about 12 years ago i had an antiglare screen to mitigate the effects of harsh lighting. Anyone tried this or similar? Incidentally, when I visited NLW a few years back i stayed at the adjacent university halls during holidays. Good, cheap, with computer access and in walking distance. Dick fowler

. Coincidentally, I am experimenting > with a digital camera to photograph computer screens, fiche readers screens > etc. Any hints and tips welcome esp in glare reduction when using forced > flash, also maintaining sharp image wo a tripod and distancing rig. . # Simple, just make use of your PRT SC key on your computer (you might need to press shift depending where its located). Then paste this into Photoshop (ctrl + V) or whatever other programme you use for images. If you use Firefox, you might be interested in this plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146 However, widespread abuse of this .... it will possibly mean that NLW will take their wills off the internet. When the wills first became digitalised, they were only available inside the library building (where incidentally computers are a nightmare to use). Personally I was suprised that this resource was made available online, given NLW's strict attitude towards copyright. And they are really strict, even if some of the documents once belonged to your direct ancestors. I guess part of their reasoning to allow online access, that documents could not be copied easily or downloaded (hence the embedded flash, that is their precaution). Remember, other resources are still only available within the NLW. If people abuse this resource, I wouldn't be surprised if this became in building restricted again which would be a crying shame. Alison

Hi Richard, I would use a screen capture programme, not a camera. Many of these are downloadable as 'freeware'. The one I have used for many years is MWSNAP. You can save part or whole of your screen and this can be a jpeg, gif or even a high-quality tiff file. Just Google MWSNAP for the home page. Regards John

Dick, *Never* use flash. You are relying on the screen to provide the light you need. If the screen settings are accessible then turn the brightness up as high as you can consistent with still being able to read it. If you cannot use a tripod then use your two elbows to brace the camera as much as you can. If your camera has an eyepiece then use that instead of the screen on the back of the camera, and your head is then extra support to keep the camera steady. To photograph a register then the use of a camera stand is preferable, or photograph on a bright day, near the window. For those who are unaware, TNA now provide seats with camera stands and approved lights that can be used to photograph their documents. There is no charge for using cameras.

Having got lost in the NLW website i rang and asked for a step by step guide toWills. I thought I should share what I was told.: 1 Go to NLW website ( easily Googled or from links on this list in last few days.) 2 Click on 'family history' on left hand side, in orange or brown 3 Click 'wills' Responds with reference to pre-1858 wills 4 Enter a date or range and click 'save' 5 Enter a diocese eg St Davids for Pembs, Llandaff for Glamorgan and Mon . 6 Enter a combination of (person)Name;parish;Township or occupation.Responds with wills held and nos of pages. The helpful lady added that these are full transcripts, not digests and .are free to view, downloads are chargeable. Coincidentally, I am experimenting with a digital camera to photograph computer screens, fiche readers screens etc. Any hints and tips welcome esp in glare reduction when using forced flash, also maintaining sharp image wo a tripod and distancing rig. . I may also soon need to photo an original undeposited 1840s marriage register (not Wales) for the RO so any tips welcome on this too. Dick Fowler
