Customer Reviews

The best introduction to researching Welsh ancestors.

It this little volume, you have all the basic elements which makes Welsh research unique. Language, Non-Conformity, and patronymic surname origins are just a few of the key issues described with research advice and examples given.This book is the best way to learn about the challenges of Welsh genealogy.

WONDERFUL for beginners!

Only 4 stars because it reads like a textbook, but then it REALLY is... on Welsh genealogy. For someone like myself (researching the surname Jones) it was a God-send. Read it before wasting a moment researching. There are a LOT of pitfalls and this book reveals them ALL! HIGHLY recommended!
