Cardiganshire FHS: "About Cardiganshire.
Cardiganshire (in Welsh - Ceredigion) is a bilingual County in West Wales,UK. Everybody speaks English and over 60% of the population speaks Welsh. Following the recent dissolution of the large administrative county of Dyfed, the historic county of Cardiganshire was reinstated with county status under the ancient name of Ceredigion.
In the 19th century and earlier Cardiganshire's economy was based on farming, seafaring, and metal mining . Harsh economic conditions meant that many individuals and families left the county for other parts of the UK and overseas. Their descendants are now living in most of the English-speaking world . There are strong connections between Cardiganshire and parts of north America ; in particular,Pennsylvania,Ohio,Wisconsin,and Minnesota. "
Cardiganshire FHS: "Leading members of the Society teach at the annual week-long residential courses in Family History organised by the Dept. of Continuing Education,The University of Wales, Aberystwyth,10/11 Laura Place,Aberystwyth, Ceredigion,SY23 2AU. Full details can be obtained from the Society or the Dept. "
Microfiches are currently available with burial entries for 1813-1837 and 1838-1865 taken from the registers for all parishes in the county. For details go to this page. More burial information for other dates will be published on microfiche as data becomes available. Society members have undertaken a number of memorial transcription projects at various churches and chapels in North Cardiganshire and these are being published at intervals.
The Society is participating in the FFHS scheme for the compilation of a National Burials Index and the current Federation CD-ROM contains data for Cardiganshire burials.
