Well, after months of emailing the Rector of llanbeblig parish, I have finally recieved an answer as to why the parish records were taken Down from find my past.
It was not the answer I was after, and neither an Answer I understand.
Can anyone explain this Reason for me please?
"Y rheswmpaham da ni ddim isio gwybodaeth neu fod yn digidol ydi'r Mormons- me nhw yn cymeryd y details i gyd ac wedyn yn bedyddio ni trwy ein henwau ni yn America.
Ond beth da ni wedi gwneud ydi roi cymiant o'n llyfrau ag syd yn bosib yn yr Archifdy. Mae nhw i gyd ilawr yn Victria Doc."

I have put it into a translating website as I can't speak Welsh :)
The reason why we don't want information or be digital is the Mormons - they take all the details and then baptize us through our names in America
But what we have done is give us a comparison of our books and it is possible in the Record Office. They are all at Victria Doc. "

What does it mean though??
Thanks
-
It appears to mean they don't want their records appearing online or to be copied onto familysearch. This would enable the Mormon church to be' baptising' their church members when they have already been baptised into the church in Llanbelig.
-
I'm non the wisest, is it a valid reason?
Sorry I just need to understand
-
They don't need a valid reason, they are their records and they can withold them if they want to.
-
Which Record Office are the books / docs stored "safely" with ?
-
The Record Office in Caernarfon - part of Gwynedd Archives

I believe lots of parishes have been ‘removed’ for similar reasons. Can’t find what i read though sorry.

Llanbeblig parish registers have been filmed by the LDS
Quite a few of the films (but sadly not yet all) can apparently be viewed at their FHC's

Indexes on FamilySearch. Obviously the links to images on Findmypast no longer work.
Also have done the BT's
