History Club

The Gwynedd Family History Society - Cymdeithas Hanes Teuluoedd, - has been compiling a record of memorial inscriptions in local churchyards. The History Club was asked to help with this task. It is thanks to Ilona Sewell and David Roberts that the recording of information from St-Ann's churchyard has now been completed. The task was not easy and they were hampered by midges, wasps and dense overgrown brambles. Congratulations to Ilona and David on their perseverance and a successful result. The last two meetings of the Club have been spent transferring the data gathered from the gravestones onto individual family files, which record the families who lived in Mynydd from the 1841 Census to the 1901 census.
