I've heard that you can now browse through a parish register once you have used the search facility to get to an image in the first place, so that might be useful. There is still no "parent search" or "spouse search" facility though.

I have found quite a few Pembrokeshire records for my son-in-law's ancestors, plus the images. My daughter will be chuffed when I tell her.

If I'm reading it right, it is all they have all the Welsh parish records online now.

I'm having trouble finding a lot of mine. :(

I haven't looked at what they have, but are all the records C of E? A large percentage of Welsh records are non-conformist, so that might be why you can't find what you are looking for.

I think they are all C of E. But there are some Welsh non-conformist records on BMD Registers.

Have you tried searching for John Jones on BMD Registers?!! :mad:

No, it was Morgan Morgans. Luckily there weren't too many of them. But I remember now, I did find it on FamilySearch first.

I would have thought mine were anglican, they were when they were in Somerset before portions of them moved to Wales.
