I'm researching family history in Flintshire, Wales - any advice?

Question

My Great Granparents (Wright/ Reece) are from Flintshire in Wales (specifically Hawarden) and whilst I can easily obtain their birth certs etc as I get further down the line it gets harder. Does anyone know any resources I can use to research them - obtain info from parish records etc without having to go to Wales or Chester (much as i'd like to!)?

Thanks!

Answer 1

UK answer.

I would use www.ancestry.co.uk they have millions of records covering England and Wales, and you can even search the 1881 Wales census for free.

1901 Wales

1891 Wales

* 1881 Wales*

1871 Wales

1861 Wales

1851 Wales

1841 Wales

You can buy pay per view vouchers and if you need any help to get you started here in the UK you can email me through my profile  or you can post a couple of names on the forum, providing they are long gone of course. I am sure there are lots of people chomping at the bit to find the information for you.

Hope this helps.

The site posted below is the Mormon site and that is completely free.

Answer 2

http://www.v1g.org allows you to access nearly every public record on your grandparents. Its half the price as any other site, with more bank for your buck. Its been receiving the best answer here on yahoo due to how much people like it

Answer 3

My mom does genealogy. We are from Sunderland, England. I know this is vague but she checks a mormon site where they keep a lot of records, not just of mormons.(I know, i'm very helpful) And she goes to a free genealogy site where people swap information and she emails people from the site. She has gotten quite far back and all from research she has done from Canada lol  Im sorry, how useless. Maybe just search Mormon records genealogy, its very popular so it shouldn't be hard to find. Hopefully someone will give you an actual helpful answer. Sorry
