Findmypast Friday: Discover Welsh Stories

  I received this information from Findmypast today:

===================================

Discover Welsh stories this Findmypast Friday.

We've bolstered the Catholic Heritage Archive this week, with three new Welsh record sets. If you've got ancestors from Wales, their names may appear in these baptisms, marriages, and burials from Cardiff.

We've also added seven new titles to our newspaper archive and updated a further seven existing publications.

Wales Roman Catholic Baptisms (Cardiff)

This week's biggest new collection consists of 67,733 baptism records, with both images and transcriptions to explore.

Wales Roman Catholic Marriages (Cardiff)

These 18,741 Welsh marriage records span an impressive 184 years.

Can you find your ancestors' union?

Wales Roman Catholic Burials (Cardiff)

If your Welsh relative was buried in or around the city of Cardiff, their name may appear within these 9,111 new parish burial records.
