	That sounds very interesting too Von. Part of my Pembrokeshire history involved the Codd / Ormond family from Pembrokeshire. Elizabeth Codd (my family) - her husband and children became Mormons in the 1850s. She was abandoned by her husband John Ormond, who abducted most of their children and emigrated to Utah, U.S.A. to join the Mormon Church Community. He waited until she went with one of the sons to market and her older married daughters helped him. The sad thing was many of the children died on route, including the 3 year old little girl!

	Yes, I have the same problem. I can get records for my Gran's father's family, who were English speaking and Parish Church, but all the Welsh Speaking Chapel goers are more difficult to get records for.
