I used the search facility to look up my favourite parishes in Carmarthenshire, and was surprised to find that some weren't there. The map showed the hamlets which made up the parish but did not reference the parish name. So instead of Llangadog it shows Above Sawdde, Dyffryn Ceidrich and Quarter bach. The next parish, Llanddeusant, has been labelled as Llanfihangel Brynpabuan, which Genuki tells me is in Breconshire, near Builth. Similarly in Glamorgan the parish of Eglwysilan is not shown, only the hamlets which comprise it, one of which is helpfully labelled "unknown". This would seem to be a work in progress, so take care!
