Hello all,
I just joined the group. Wanted to let those of you who are not aware--that there is a UK web stie, www.freebmd.com that I would like to recommend. It is very easy to use and best of all it is free. You can only research the UK.

Hi, all! I just love genealogy groups. My Welsh research is centered around the surname -- Davies/Davis -- which I realize is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I have, however, had a bit of good luck through Ancestry.com. The name linked with Davies/Davis is Webb but that is my English G/grandmother who lived her entire life in Wales.

Anyway, just saying hi and I look forward to being a part of this group.

Where would be the best place to start searching for Canadian immigration records from the 1920's?

I'm very excited to find Americymru and especially the genealogy group. I've done some research for the past couple of years and have dead-ended a couple of times in Wales. Mostly this happens because my ancestors were Williams' and Jones' and picked distinctive first names like John and Elizabeth. One problem I have is an ancestor being listed as born in Flambere-Mayre, Montgomeryshire, Wales. I can find no record of a Flambere-Mayre. I don't know if this is a village lost to history, a parrish, ecclesiastical district, estate or what. Ancestor's name was Julienes Herringe and was born about 1582 at Flambere-Mayre. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Tentatively planning trip to Wales in September to do a little more research.

Thanks to Dave Martin for this one:-
Data Wales
A collection of downloadable maps of Wales. From the page:-
" These maps were drawn to help our American visitors who might be engaged in researching their roots. The maps are not highly detailed, they were designed to download quickly and to answer the needs of a typical visitor. This isn't the Ordnance Survey!"

The image above is a link to the Historical Dirctory site mentioned by Dave in the previous post. Hope this proves useful to someone. It is certainly a fascinating resource.
