*Due to the many common names be careful not to accept the first possible match for your ancestor. Watch for additional identifying details such as residence and occupation. | |||

Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. [[Wales Census|Search Wales Censuses.]] | *Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census.

*If a record collection does not include your ancestor, consider the possibility that the database is incomplete. Parish registers are very incomplete on both FamilySearch and Findmypast. A list of '''[[Wales Parish Registers Not Published on Findmypast & FamilySearch|parish registers not published]]''' online is being created. | *If a record collection does not include your ancestor, consider the possibility that the database is incomplete.

Leave the surname field blank. | *If you can't find a christening record for a child, especially before 1813, assume that the family used patronymic names.

*Burials are more likely to include a higher percentage of the population. Search the parish church burials and local chapel burials. Many nonconformist chapels did not have their own burial ground for many years after the start of the congregation. | |||
