ON-LINE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH ENGINE: "Welcome to the On-line Genealogical Research Engine pilot project, which aims to provide a premier free service for on-line genealogical research.
The OGRE has grown out of a need to see an accessible, easy to use genealogical database which supports a generic data format for many different kinds of datasets, be it Baptisms, Census or War Memorial data. Whilst it is still in its infancy, it is the intention to make this one of the premier sources of Welsh genealogical data on the web. It is not the intention to compete with the likes of the I.G.I. (400 million records is quite a lot of typing), or the Free BMD project. It is also intended to be free to all researchers on the web, although some of the data sets are now available for sale to help with the running costs of the site."
