To anyone researching in Wales or England. FreeBMD, which stands for Free Births Marriages and Deaths is one suggestion. It is an undertaking to index all the births marriages and deaths. However, bear in mind that it will not give you the date or the birthplace. It only tells what quarter of the year it was registered and in what office it was registered. Given the commonality of names in Wales you may have some difficulty. However if you find one that you think is it, you can order the certificates online (through the GRO--there is a link) charge it to your credit card and get it in about 2 weeks. I have gotten many certificates that way. I have done a few fishing expeditions and come up empty on some, but have found others. Another place to try is the British Census. England and Wales had a census every 10 years on the year 1, 1861, 1871, etc. Those before 1841 are only head counts and useless for genealogy. The latest one out is 1901. There is a 100 year waiting period. Ancestry has them indexed for 1861 to 1901. The nice thing about the British Census, is that unlike ours, they list addresses from early on, and when asked the place of birth, list the Town and County. Ancestry is available at any Family History Center and many libraries. There is also the IGI? You may hit luck there. Sadly, Wales is tough because of the commonality of surnames. There are only about 100 different surnames in Wales, and about 7% of the country is Jones. Then after a certain time period back you get into patronymics and that's a whole different can of worms. You really need to know the name of the place in which they were from before you can research. I have been lucky. I either knew the town from family lore, or have been able to get it from certificates that I ordered, the IGI, or the Census. Also, if you want information from Washburn St. Cemetery, you need to call Rader Insurance. I don't have the phone number offhand, but it is listed. Once you do know the town, you can continue through church records. Most towns in Wales and England have had their parish registers filmed by the LDS, and many go back into the 1700's at least. I have had great luck tracing families back once I have found their place of origin. Happy hunting. Tom Price
