Everytime I search for relatives in Wales, mainly the Glamorgans, ie Cardiff, Penarth and Barry, nothing can be found, are these area's completed or am I doing something wrong. Not sure wether to put place of birth or place of registration..... Help

I'm not sure if all of Wales is finished yet. I could be wrong, but I only found my relatives in Brecknockshire and Anglesey on there the other day. There might still be more to be done.

Can you find them without the place of birth, ...or are the names too common?
I found some of mine in the index shown located in Bridgend. I haven't looked at the image yet, but am fairly sure they were in one of the coalmining valleys, so perhaps you would get a result by putting in less detail?

You both have given me a lot to think about. A lot of my relatives come from what was Breconshire but a lot are stated as being born in Barry or Penarth but births registered in Cardiff so frustrating !!!

Thanks so much for replying.
