Welsh Research Helps on FamilySearch Wiki


Development of a research advice wiki by volunteers and employees at FamilySearch is progressing so well that I struggle to keep up with the new additions. Naturally my first area of interest is Wales. Other parts of the British Isles have my attention but not to the same degree. A few wiki volunteers have taken me by surprise.

This morning I found a whole lot of information had been added over the past week for north Wales. If you go directly to the Portal:Wales page at https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portal:Wales you find links to various topics and items of potential interest. I use the country page for Wales as my web browser home page so that when I open the internet I'm taken directly to the Portal:Wales page. Recent changes included similar pages for each county. I was pleased to learn this morning that several interesting items have been added for counties in the north of Wales.

I expect these county pages may become the focal point for research helps in the very near future. If you have research in North Wales there are already some great resources for you to tap into. Visit https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portal:Denbighshire for a taste of things to come.
