    3. Hello Evelyn, The Parish church of Ystradyfodwg is built upon the foundations of a much older church. The registers start as many Welsh parish records about 1719 - though the BTs [Bishops' Transcripts] start at 1717. There are no earlier registers as sadly the parish was not a rich one or /and it didn't matter to the parishioners or the incumbent, and as parchment was expensive, apparently no copies were made from the paper registers onto new parchment registers and so earlier registers have not survived. Amongst the MIs though [MIs = Monumental Inscriptions] is an early one dated 1629. As David [Bolton ] has explained there were no other churches then within the very large parish of Ystradyfodwg, later renamed the Rhondda Valley. You have not told the List what your Great Great grandparents's names were, so I cannot search for their burials at St Johns. I will of course, if you can let me have their respective names. There is a postcard photo of the older church on my website. http://www.welshchapelsandchurches.org/rhondda/ystrad/index.htm My best wishes, Jill Photographs of Welsh Chapels and Churches http://www.welshchapelsandchurches.org/ -----Original Message----- From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Evelyn Clarke Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 8:07 PM To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com Subject: [GLA] Parish Church, Ystradyfodwg Hello My Great Great Grandparents married 17th January 1881 in the Parish Church of Ystradyfodwg - they were both residing in Treorchy at the time of the marriage - can anyone tell me what church this would have been and if it is still a place of worship ???
