The usual way around this sort of problem is to instal a proxy on your system. This then 'fools' the website in to believing that you are actually in the UK. You may also need another program to turn the proxy on and off as having the proxy on all the time could cause you other problems. Such a program is called Foxyproxy which only works with the Firefox browser. This link tells you about this program and also has details of the proxies. But most of the better ones are not free (the program is free but not the proxy itself) http://getfoxyproxy.org/ But allow me to ask if the link which goes, with my poor to non-existant Welsh, to 'Highlights - day one '(I think), is the actual program you want to watch. There is another way around this but I think it would be best to discuss this off list. Reply to me off-list in this case. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mona_sydd_yma@yahoo.com> To: "glam" <GLAMORGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 1:42 AM Subject: [GLA] OT: Help with S4C > Hello, > > I want to watch a boy I know sing in the Yrdd Eistedfodd, but I am in the > US and > the website: > http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/c_level2.shtml?programme_id=498644995 > says it is available only in the UK. > > Does anyone know of somewhere else on the web I can watch this?

Hello Listers. The following link is spam, do not open. Gareht

HOPKIN WILLIAM MARGAM REES P...? MARGAM 22MAR 1834 MARGAM(P)

Err, whoops, sorry, I just looked at the Wales related posts in the Caton forum, all look like false leads, relatives from Wales, not Catons themselves. But I still think it is a great venue for making yourself easier to find when Caton researchers are ready. http://genforum.genealogy.com/caton/

There are a few people in the Caton forum at genforum with families from Cardiff or at least Wales. Caton Family Genealogy Forum http://genforum.genealogy.com/caton/ You also might consider posting there as people googling connections are more likely to find you there even if they do not belong to our list. But be sure to keep your email up to date, I have made connections with people years after they post at Genforum. Best to pack the subject line at genforum with some ancestral first names, though, as well as saying Cardiff...that increases chances of being found. They may know Cardiff or Wales, but not about Whitechurch if they are just starting out.

From: jandeh Sent: Monday, May 30, 2011 5:43 PM To: GLAMORGAN@rootsweb.com Subject: hello Hello I’ve just re-joined the list after a considerable absence. I’m hoping to kick-start myself into taking up my family tree again (nothing like the birth of two Grandsons to take up all your spare time). I’m researching the following names: DORKE, JONES, GAY, ELLIS, WEBB for myself and HOLMES, HICKS, ANDREWS, GREEDY for my husband. I look forward to reading all the emails again as I found such a lot of helpful advice in many of them and managed to get in touch with a cousin I didn’t know existed. Eirwen

Hi, Wondered if anyone had post 1835 marriage records and wouldn't mind doing a lookup. Looking for a William Hopkin/s (1813 Aberavon) who married a Dennis ?? (abt.1813 Margam) around 1836 + first child born 1837 Thank you Helen
