    1. [GLA] Glamorgan Marriages 1837-1925

    3. I thought the announcement on the list was just a bit premature but had a few minutes this afternoon and found that the Glamorgan Marriages, 1837-1925 collection has been posted on FamilySearch.org at https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://hr-search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1392564 or go to https://www.familysearch.org/ then click on Europe (sorry about that) to browse by locality, then scroll down to Wales. DO NOT click on the link for Wales in the blue shaded list of places on the left of the screen. We seem to have a problem with that link. When you finally get to the search page you are able to search the index but no images are attached at this time. There are 58,798 records in the collection. I am a little disappointed that the collection description does not provide clarity on what is included in the collection and what is not there. Based on an examination of the material a few months ago it appears that only records from the Glamorgan Record office in Cardiff were included. I am not sure all of those for the 1837-1925 time period are included. There were some banns entries included early in the production of this collection. I've not checked to see if these are still included. Before my role change on 1 February 2011 I had access to the list of parishes included in this collection. In the next few days I will see if I can find that list of included parishes and date ranges so it can be added to https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Wales_Glamorgan_Marriages_%28FamilySearch_Historical_Records%29 for research reference. I think we should know what was searched by using a database like this so a coverage table of some sort is essential. Darris G.
