Microfilm
FamilySearch has been microfilming records of Wales since 1947. A wide variety of records are available on microfilm. In 2006 microfilming began on the parish registers of the Church of Wales. See Welsh parish registers on microfilm or search for a parish name in the Family History Library Catalog to learn which records are available to family historians.
