The Welsh Medieval Genealogy database is still online at FamilySearch in the "Genealogies" section. Here's a link to Welsh-American Edward Foulke: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3W49-7N8 > > Nathan Thanks for your assistance in this - it's much appreciated. But it seems that the Welsh database is only partially available at present. Here are two examples for individuals in Barturm's Welsh Genealogies, which was fully available online prior to this week. 1) At the top of Bartrum's table Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 29 (and also on Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 28) is Owain Gethin ab Owain of Glyntawe: http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/bitstream/handle/2160/5614/Bleddyn%20ap%20Maenyrch%2029.png?sequence=1&isAllowed=y Here is how he shows up currently in the Welsh database - with no spouse, no children, and no ancestry: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3WWL-8X1 2) 1) At the top of Bartrum's table Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 17 (and also on Bleddyn ap Maenyrch 16) is Hywel ab Einion Sais: http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/bitstream/handle/2160/5222/Bleddyn%20ap%20Maenyrch%2017.png?sequence=1&isAllowed=y Here is how he shows up currently in the Welsh database - again, with no spouse, no children, and no ancestry: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:3WWL-ZRQ My guess is that there's been a technical glitch somewhere in the handling of the Welsh database. But I can't seem to convey this to the customer-service folks at Family Search, who just keep referring me to pages on their wiki which don't address the issue. I can't figure out how to get past these people (well-meaning as they are) and get to a technical person who may better understand the issue. Perhaps you can have better luck than I've had in this. Any assistance will be much appreciated! (If you want to take this off-group, feel free to contact me directly at my email address as in the message header.)
