Many of the county's nonconformist chapel registers are available:


 * In an archive or library
 * Published as a booklet, microfiche
 * On-line as transcriptions of the original registers on the IGI. (Many of the birth and christening records on the IGI have had patronymic names incorrectly applied by the transcriber).
 * On-line as part of a pay to use website
 * Usually only the christening/birth, marriage and burial registers are listed in published guides
 * About 25% of chapels have deposited their registers with an archive or library
 * Many records exist which are not considered registers that may supplement existing registers or serve as substitutes for registers that have not been deposited yet or are lost

Pillars of Faith provides information on Nonconformist chapels in the Rhondda. The before and after photos are a treat. Details provided about the chapels include critical information for the family historian.
