    3. I seem to have opened up a can of worms here ? For "Parish Registers"in Wales please look at the website "All Wales Lookup Exchange". If you look up "Glamorgan",you will see the many Parish Registers I myself and many others, have Offered to look in them for Researchers. I well remember many years ago back in the 1980's when visiting the Old Glamorgn records office in Cathays Park here in Cardiff. And learning then about the "I.G.I;" I asked the Archivist then,"Do I take the findings of the I.G.I; with a Pinch of Salt?" "Try a Wheelbarrow full," came the reply! There has been much fiddling with Family Tree's of the Aristocratic families over the years. If one generation doesn't look right,they would cancel that one out and stick a better looking one in its place. Fast forward to today with the Magic box of Computers,and its a case of the same thing in many wishful thinking sites. I was on one the other day. Hardly any dates from one generation to the next,then all of a sudden a date appears in a later generation which cannot be right,because its six generations in only 70 years. Someone in their 90's having kids! As for this hobby of ours? Apparently,as I read some time ago,Its the second oldest Hobby going. No need to ask what's the First? Let me give you a clue......... There was no Television around in those days!
