Where in Wales?
« on: Sunday 24 October 10 01:17 BST (UK) »
My grandmother was from Ystradyfodwg, Glamorgan, Wales.  Can someone tell me where that is and where I can obtain a copy of her birth certificate?
 Also, she was adopted.  Is there somewhere I can find out adoption information.


Thanks

Hi CPALong,

Welcome to Rootschat. 

You haven't given us your grandmothers name but If you do a search of this site with your grandmothers name

you can then apply for the certificate on this site

Thank you for your reply.  I tried that website but got nothing.  Is Ystradyfodwg the name of a town?  I also have the name, Llangeinor.  Could that be the name of the town?  I'm a little confused.

Thank you again for your help

My grandmother's name was Deborah Kinsey but was adopted by William and Elizabeth Williams (her aunt and uncle).  They also had sons by the name of William, Morris, Thomas John and Benjamin.  Deborah was born December 25, 1888 or 1889.
