Cardiganshire Nonconformist Records

Many of the county's nonconformist chapel registers are available:

• In an archive or library
• Published as a booklet or microfiche
• On-line as transcriptions of the original registers on the IGI. (Many of the birth and christening records on the IGI have had patronymic names incorrectly applied by the transcriber).
• On-line as part of a pay to use website
• Usually only the christening/birth, marriage and burial registers are listed in published guides
• About 25% of chapels have deposited their registers with an archive or library
• Many records exist which are not considered registers that may supplement existing registers or serve as substitutes for registers that have not been deposited yet or are lost
