    1. [Dyfed] Rhydwilym Records
    2. ANNE EVANS
    3. Hi Hal and List, I live near Rhydwilym chapel and am a Baptist myself.  However I do not hold the parish records for Llandysilio nor Narberth. My computer is playing up today so cannot get in Genuki for Narberth. I understand one of your Georges lived there in early 1700's. Here are the details for the archives offices for Narberth  and Llandysilio:-   Llandysilio  -   Carmarthenshire Archives Office, email: Archives@Carmarthenshire.gov.uk  Telephone 01267 228232  Fax 01267 228237  They are not open on Mondays. Narberth -   Pembrokeshire Archives Office  email:   recordoffice@pembrokeshire.gov.uk Phone014377754  They are not open Mon Tues   Carmarthen hold parish records from  1720 - 1812.    The parish records of course are for anglican baptisms but some anglicans converted to the Baptist faith.   Baptists had to marry in the anglican local parish church. Many also buried in the parish church. There is a Welsh language book entitled "Rhamant Rhydwilym"  i.e. translated "The Romance of Rhydwilym"   It was written by local men in this area. Rev E Llwyd Williams and Mr Absolom. I however have  lent it out to someone and once returned I shall look it up for any clues   Yvonne Evans
