Thanks to @GlamArchives for hosting us this week. Lots of our members have ancestors who were seafarers and dock workers, so maritime records was a great topic to cover. One attendee told us afterwards that the meeting was "brilliant ... I have so many new records to search"
Glamorgan Archives@GlamArchives

Great to welcome back members of @Cardiff_GFHS for their first meeting following the summer break. Our topic today, appropriately for Merchant Navy Day, was maritime records, including this photo of Cardiff East Dock in 1883, from the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce collection.

@FamilyHistPod @Cardiff_GFHS Thanks for sharing the episode! If you're ever looking for a Zoom presenter let me know. I have a really great presentation on a new research method for Welsh genealogy that I invented.

Thank you @martinjohnes for giving a talk to Glamorgan FHS Cardiff branch recently about the Welsh Not and use of the Welsh language in Victorian schools. Our members really appreciated an evidence-based analysis of attitudes to C19 Welsh language use in an educational setting.

Some interesting talks, including several with a distinctly Welsh focus, at the @GuildOneName conference in Newport last weekend. Speakers included Glamorgan FHS members @JenniPh and Diane Brook. Free to view for another week or so, then available to GOONS members only.

The recordings of the talks from our conference are now available on our website along with the handouts. They will be open to the public for the next two weeks before going behind the paywall. one-name.org/crossing-borde… #GuildConf2024

Thank you @GlamArchives for hosting us today, and for sharing your records and expertise with us. We are looking forward to seeing what our members can discover from researching the houses, land and property that feature in their ancestry.
Glamorgan Archives@GlamArchives

It was great to welcome members of @Cardiff_GFHS back to the Archives this afternoon to explore records relating to house, land and property history. Including this drawing from the Mid Glamorgan Chapel Survey of Soar Welsh Baptist Chapel, #Penygraig.
