1911 census Wales

Hi

The 1911 census for Wales is now on the 1911 website.

It contains the whole of Wales.

I'm going to try and find a map or something to turn the present counties into the old counties if you see what I eman

At last the records are nearing completion.

We'll be glad of your advices and map regarding the changing counties as Wales can be confusing at the best of times.

Thanks
Mary

Hi,
Just thought I'd mention that, for the first time, the Welsh could use a Welsh language version of the census in 1911. So, you may find that your Welsh speaking ancestors opted for the Welsh format. Even many that were bi-lingual completed the Welsh one in preference.

If anyone has a problem when they find their ancestors completed the census in Welsh and need a translation of occupation etc, send me a PM with the 'strange words' and my 'gwraig' (wife) will translate.
Cheers,
Dickiesam
