Is Ystradyfodwg the same as LLandyfodwg?
« on: Wednesday 23 March 11 20:03 GMT (UK) »
My Gt Gt Granddad was born in Llandyfodwg Glamorganshire South Wales.  I've also seen Ystradyfodwg, which looks very similar in spelling.  Can anyone tell me if they are one and the same place?
Also what would be the local parish for Llandyfodwg and where would the records be held?  I have another big hill to climb as the surname I'm trying to research is WILLIAMS!
Any help with this area or sites to visit would be very much appreciated.

Thanx
Carol
