Perhaps if you contacted the "Friends of St Julitta's"?
and according to Genuki, Capel Curig is in the parish of Llandegai (didn't know that):

Dear Mr Lloyd,
My 3x great grandfather John Roberts was buried there in 1839 also his son John Roberts was buried there in 1898 his wife Emma in 1865 , plus other family members , they were on a farm called Gors Ceffylau , the ruins are still there , there are also baptism there for the family including my grandmother Emma Roberts D O B 1877 , her father was also a John Roberts born on Gors Ceffylau DO B 1850 , i have failed to find his death or buriel place as it was said to have taken place in South Africa around 1882, if you ever see a mention of it the Church records i would be pleased to know , maybe the family recorded it in the parish records, seeing as they used the church .
I have visited the church it is lovely place , and not far from Gors Ceffylau
Regards Mrs Griff l

Dear Mrs Griff 1,
Thanks for the info, I know of Gors Ceffylau, and have a photograph etc. a lovely site but life must have been so hard for these people in the 19 century. Your reply raises so many questions about the Roberts family I guess most of them unanswerable.
How did they get there in the first place and where did they move on to? You mention South Africa for John Roberts any other records of other family members? Have any pictures/photos of these people survived? They were obviously farmers but did any of them work in the Quarries; Rhos Quarry started up 1850ish & Foel about 1835, both very convenient for where they lived. We are putting together an exhibition in the church in the summer on these two quarries. I am also very interested in any examples of emigration ( John Roberts),
Best wishes Harvey Lloyd

Dear Mr. Lloyd -
I am wondering if you would be able to provide any information regarding my ancestors buried in the church cemetery. They are Evan Griffith, died July 26, 1850 and his wife Margaret Thomas, died Nov. 19, 1833. I know their approximate birthdates as I have been to the church and found their grave maker. I have no idea if there are any other family members buried there; i.e., parents, siblings, children. I do know that their daughter Catharine married and moved to Pennsylvania in 1846.
Oh, I believe from the headstone that Evan's last place of residence was Cwm Uchaf.
Also, would any folks from Trefriw have used your church and cemetery?
Thanks in advance!

Dear Holly,
Yes like you said they are buried in the churchyard Grave B049 on our memorial inscription records.
As you say Evan Griffiths died 26 July 1850 age 91. I have all the census returns 1841 - 1871, if they are of any help. The house seems to have been abandoned sometime after 1871 as it does not appear in the 1881 census. In 1851 Abram Evans seems to have taken over, perhaps the son of Evan Griffith. Contact me on my home email address and I will let you have the census info. I probable have some other information too,

Dear Mr. Lloyd - would there be a transcript of the burials at St. Julittas that is for sale? I have found so many ancestors that would have been buried there that it would be great if a listing exists. Thanks

Does anyone know if the Friends of St. Julitt's Capel Curig have a current website/membership?
I'm looking for information regarding a possible burial in 1807 for a David Roberts of Brynengan. I see from another thread that this church was part of Llandegai parish. Can anyone confirm?
thanks
