Cardiganshire


(Ceredigion)


    Hi again, sorry about the length of time between updates but pressure of work means this will be a bit sporadic for a while. Anyway here's a few new links, some new music and a strong recommendation. There is a piece of freeware that's really worth getting, it's called Parish Locator. For those people like myself who find a parish mentioned in a certificate or census entry and want to know where it is and most importantly where it is in relation to other parishes, this is an invaluable tool. you can get it at Freebies for genealogists.

Also, I've had a book recommended to me although I've not had a chance to look at it I'm reliably imformed that it contains a lot of helpful information. Here's the info THE GATEWAY TO WALES, A History of Cardigan By W.J. Lewis First Published 1990 ISBN 086075 0361

    The Welsh for Cardiganshire is Ceredigion which comes from Ceredig son of Cunedda who founded the county just after the time of the Romans. The two main towns along the cost, Aberystwyth and Cardigan, and the villages that surround them have long histories as active ports.
