Wales, Cardiganshire, Parish Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records

Wales Cardiganshire

This collection contains parish registers from the county of Cardiganshire for the years 1538-1912.

Why Should I Look at This Collection?
Parish registers have been kept at the local level across Wales since the mid-1500s. Due to this long and relatively stable tradition, these records are central to Welsh genealogical research as they are often one of the only sources for finding families and individuals in Wales before the start of civil registration in 1837.

For additional information about the history, content, and use of parish registers, see the Wales Parish Registers page.
