Has anybody any idea how I can access information for this chapel. Is it still functional and would they hold any records there?
Any help would be appreciated.

The earliest register of baptisms (1812-1837) is at the PRO in London,
but I believe there is a transcription available on the net (see GENUKI).
Minute books, other baptism registers and collection books for 1812-2002
are at the Anglesey Record Office in Llangefni.
Bangor University Archive has the chapel minutes for 1882-1891.
Gwynedd Family History Society has transcribed the memorial inscriptions.
As far as I can tell the chapel is still going strong. And so is the burial ground -
my second cousin was buried there last winter. The bulk of the older records
is probably now at the Anglesey Record Office.

Many thanks for the information, this will enable me to continue my search.

I have lots of family here myself (Williams & Owen).
I was there quite recently (in the last 18 months) & whilst many things have been moved to LLangefni from most churches on the Island this still has most of it's books - kept safely in Tesco carrier bags.

Hi,
Thanks for your message - do you know whom I could contact to look at the Tesco bags (or more importantly the contents therein)?
