THE FREECEN Census Project CYMRU/WALES INDEX

FreeCEN's  aim is to provide a free-to-view on-line searchable
database  of the census returns for the whole country. 

This page shows the Index for Coordinators for Cymru/Wales.

Volunteers from all over the world are transcribing the census 
from the CD's, freely loaned  by the LDS, 
into a specially written database. 
Without the volunteers invaluable support this project would not exist.
