    1. [Dyfed] Missing Parishes Find My Past - how to almost beat the system
    2. janealogy
    3. Dear List, I have read on many mailing list's regarding missing parish records on Find My Past. I have found several just by accident whilst scrolling through image's. So they do appear to have been scanned just not indexed. I use Family Search - you do need a subscription to view the records. Family Search seem to have indexes with a link to the image. Worth trying for missing parishes. I usually put in the search Parish name and first name of Mary or Ann.I find other names are usually in Latin for earlier records. I then use the earliest record I can find for a particular Parish, Click on image to FMP then scroll back through the images to find the first record. Today I found the Parish of Cilgerran which does not show up on FMP, as far as earlier records. Scrolling through to get to the front of the Parish Register - they are available on the last entry for Castlebythe followed by Kilgerran/Cilgerran from 1711 Baptism, Marriages and burials. Hope it helps, if I come across any other missing Parishes I will drop the list an e-mail. Best regards Jane M ----- No virus found in this message.

    3. Hello Jane Thanks for your tips. If you ever find Llangan (CMN/PEM border) early marriages let me know. I have seen them in the record office so I know they exist but FMP only seem to have baptisms. They show Llangan as Carmarthenshire. Those parishes that span the two borders can be a problem. I also cannot seem to find any Llanddewy Velfrey baptisms, marriages or burials. I did send a query but have had no reply.
