{{Tip|Land records are, perhaps, as important in tracing a Welsh pedigree as the use of parish records. These records identify the family on a piece of property, and even though the family name changes from generation to generation, possession of the property does not.

Therefore, Estate and other land records have a high priority in this profile.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Wales,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1989-1997.</ref>}} | |||
