Parish Registers

• The following Parish Registers have been deposited at the Denbighshire Record Office, Ruthin.
  They may be viewed on microfilm at the Denbighshire and Flintshire Record Offices, and at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth.
  These microfilms are not available elsewhere.
  According to a survey which the National Library of Wales made in 1936, the Baptism and Burial Registers covering the period 1721 - 1812 were still in Llannefydd Church at that time; but they now appear to be "lost".
  Fortunately, the Bishop's Transcripts for most of that period have survived, and have been deposited in the National Library of Wales.

• Clwyd FHS has published full transcriptions of the Bishop's transcripts and registers (complete with indexes) for the following years :
