The Wales Collection

The Wales Collection

The National Library of Wales and the Welsh County Archivists Group have provided Findmypast with the Welsh baptism, banns, marriage and burial records which make up the Wales Collection.

The Wales Collection is undergoing some changes and updates are ongoing. Records are searchable but some features have changed.

Marriages & Banns are now combined to make searching easier.

Powys records can now be found in historical county collections: Breconshire, Denbighshire, Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire.

On this page you can find:
