-==County Record Offices==
-{{main|Record Offices in Wales}}
-All Welsh counties have an archive that contains records about its particular area. Genealogical records in these offices include land records, church records, taxation records, probate records, miscellaneous indexes, and collections. Some county record offices have personal or place-name indexes to some of the records in their collection.
-County record offices are open to the public. Some require a reader’s ticket. If you write for information, be as concise as possible. The offices are small and have limited staff, so you may have to wait a few weeks for a reply. If the staff does not have the time to search their records, ask for a list of record agents who can search the records for you.
-Books listing addresses for the county records offices are:
-*Istance, Jean and E. E. Cann, comp. ''Researching Family History in Wales''. Birmingham: The Federation of Family History Societies (Publications) Ltd., 1996. (Family History Library {{FHL|942.9 A3i|disp=British 942.9 A3i}};)
-*Mortimer, Ian, ed. ''Record Repositories in Great Britain''. 10th ed. Kew, Surrey: PRO Publications, 1997. (Family History Library {{FHL|942 J54r|disp=British 942 J54r 1997}})
