The following texts represent one of the most utilized references that I have owned over the past 25 years. They are truly a "reading", a "reference", and a "resource" all rolled into one. In two volumes, reproduced by the Genealogical Publishing Company, in 1991 [first printed London, 1872] they have provided my own family research an invaluable resource for my tree climbing. It was among these pages that I first discovered my JONES family connection to Wales.
As a reading, they contain a history of each county in Wales from their earliest beginnings. As a reference, they present various families in each county with their history, and context. As a resource, they present many family genealogies for each county giving in many cases a detailed family tree. They also give a listing of the members of Parliament and Sheriffs for each county.
Volume I :
Anglesey (Mon)
Breconshire (Brycheiniog)
Cardiganshire (Ceredigion)
Carmarthenshire (Sir Gaerfyrddin)
Carnarvonshire (Sir Gaernarfon)
Denbighshire (Sir Dinbych)
Flintshire (Sir Fflint)
Glamorganshire (Morganwg)
Volume II:
Glamorganshire (con't)
Merionethshire (Meirionydd)
Monmouthshire (Mynwy)
Montgomeryshire (Sir Dre-Faldwyn)
Pembrokeshrie (Sir Benfro)
Radnorshire (Maesyfed)
An important resource for tree climbing in Wales. I have pulled it off my book shelf many, many, times for reading, references and a as a resource... "3 R's" all rolled into one.
