[oursong]

Hello all,
Can anyone recommend any web sites that feature Pontypridd
local history/family history?                                                    Also my g.grandfather was a coal hewer living in Pontypridd 1890ish onwards, how can I find the local mines he may of worked at.
Thank you Oursong

there were several mines in the pontypridd area ,
you could look in search engine for
lady windsor colliery or the albion colliery and there should be links to more welsh pit sites.

hope this helps you.

You could try this site  www.pontypriddmuseum.org.uk  I am trying to trace my family history, and my father was born in Pontypridd in 1908, I visited the museum last weekend, and they have alot of information regarding the town. They are extremely helpful.
