'''This Welsh database, when complete, will include lineage linked data for approximately 350,000 individuals, living from about 100 A.D. to 1700 A.D. '''See FamilySearch [http://histfam.familysearch.org/index.php Community Trees] to do a search. | |||

The starting point for the Welsh database is Peter C. Bartrum’s two volumes, ''Welsh Genealogies 300 – 1400''and ''Welsh Genealogies 1400 – 1500'', and his corrections and additions to these works. There are approximately 63,000 names entered from Bartrum’s volumes. As of March 2008 the file has 234,342 individuals, covering a period from about 100 A.D. to 1700 A.D. | The starting point for the Welsh database is Peter C.

Because of the frequent occurrence of identical name strings, we have continued Bartrum’s practice of including tribal designations. Tribal designations are recorded in the christening place field set off by curly brackets. Irish tribes in the file are further identified by “Clan” or “Sept” names. Examples are: {Marchudd}, {Einion ap Llywarch}, {Ui Néill, Sept Conaill Cremthainni}. | Because of the frequent occurrence of identical name strings, we have continued Bartrum’s practice of including tribal designations.
