Just thought i'd share this information. Cardiff cemetery services have transcribed all of their burial records back to 1912 (prior to this there is a fee for manual searches). They will search this index for free and supply burial information plus cemetery maps to locate the graves. I've used them a few times recently and i have to say they have been superb and have supplied me with several bits of information i didn't have before.

Hi Neil,
Must back up what you have said. They are brilliant. I have also called to their offices for information and the help keeps coming.
Well done to all who work there.

Sile - as far as i am aware the records are available but you have to pay for manual searches. I think it is on their website. Sorry for the delay in responding - i only check this thread now & again to bump it up the boards.

As an aside - Glamorgan FHS have transcribed some info so it might be worth contacting them?

Actually - this might be worth looking at: http://www.genfair.co.uk/product_details.php?pid=26453

Also - have you tried searching on familyhistoryonline.net? You can search without credits so at least you can see if it's worth spending some money.

Rita, Either copy/paste the link or if not you can goto http://www.cardiff.gov.uk then select Living, Then Births Deaths Marriages & Civil Partnerships, then Bereavement Services, then Other Bereavement Services, and FINALLY Genealogy Services!!


Hope this helps!!!

Neil

No problem - hope you find what you are looking for

Link doesn't work anymore and they now don't seem to do searches for free either :(
