Glamorgan Estate Records
This page lists parishes with the various estates that held property in the county. An estate is only linked to a parish once with a reference that should provide access to some information for the estate records. Additional sources should be available for the various estates. Be sure to search for more sources at archives like The National Library of Wales, Glamorgan Record Office, West Glamorgan Record Office and other locations.
