Where do I find this kind of record? I sure hate xxx! Doesn't everybody? Of these, question number two is the one that sems to generate the most responses, and not just on the discussion lists. The Web is replete with bibliographic data showing readers where to go (both on- and offline) to find the data they need in their research. There are any number of general purpose reference sites, but to find the answers to some specific questions you often need to follow a trail from a website with wider appeal down through links to find the answer to your specific question. Non-conformists (non-Anglican protestants) were rampant in Wales, and the Society of Friends was no exception. Although smaller than some other denominations, Quakers enjoyed wide geographic popularity among the Welsh, with meetings throughout the realm. So if you have Quaker ancestors from Wales, how do you find their church records? One place to start is GENUKI -- the premier site for genealogy in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From there it's a relatively simple process to follow the links to the section for Wales, then church records, and on to Quakers and other non-conformists. What you will find is that while Friends in Wales might form a distinct group, with records that can be delightfully revealing to genealogists, those records are scattered among an array of county record offices in both Wales and England. The bibliography, compiled by the Quaker Family History Society, describes in detail the locations and dates of the Quaker meetings in Wales, and which repositories now have custody of the records. In addition you will find links to other QFHS Web pages describing Quaker records and their use. Of course, the actual research will still be up to you. But a visit to this informative website wil provide you with a good foundation on which to base your efforts.
