:The club has focused over last two years on the ancestral history within their parish, listing all the gravestones in the village cemetery and detailing inhabitants of households from the 1841 census onwards. Many local family histories have also been investigated. It has also been working on the links between six families that left Cilcennin on the 1st April 1818 to settle in Gallia and Jackson counties in Southeast Ohio. These six families and over 3000 others that followed them over the next forty years are the focus of bicentenary celebrations in June this year where they hope to welcome over 50 visitors from the U.S. to their small communities here in Ceredigion. Their story is well documented in the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth (see: The Wales-Ohio Project) and they hope to list their findings under the banner of The People's Collection Wales over the next few months. They have a village website www.cilcennin.wales (.cymru) which does detail some elements of their work and listings of how to contact them. | :The club has focused over last two years on the ancestral history within their parish, listing all the gravestones in the village cemetery and detailing inhabitants of households from the 1841 census onwards.
