-:Montgomeryshire Record Office is situated in Llandrindod Wells.  Powys was created in 1974 from Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire and Breconshire and became a unitary county in 1996.  They hold resources relating to this area.  Dating from the fourteenth century, these resources cover many different topics, so are useful to anyone interested in conducting research of any type.
+==Civil Registration Offices==
+The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''General Register Office'''] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''website'''] (a login is required but it is free to register and search).
+----
+Sometimes research might be required to determine where a town or parish was in a former registration district, or even its current district.  For a list of the '''historic and current registration districts and their parishes''', see [https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/bre.html Civil Registration districts in Brecknockshire] between 1837 and 1974.
