Search tips

  • Use Welsh variations of names (David/Dafydd, John/Ioan, Mary/Mair)
  • Try different spellings - Welsh names were often anglicized
  • Leave fields blank to search broadly
  • Use date ranges if you're unsure of exact dates
  • Birth year search: Use exact year (e.g. 1875) or range (e.g. 1870-1880)
  • Consider that places may have different historical names
  • Remember that "ap" means "son of" and "ferch" means "daughter of"
