Thanks to @GlamArchives for hosting us this week. Lots of our members have ancestors who were seafarers and dock workers, so maritime records was a great topic to cover. One attendee told us afterwards that the meeting was "brilliant ... I have so many new records to search"
3 Sep 2024
Great to welcome back members of @Cardiff_GFHS for their first meeting following the summer break.
Our topic today, appropriately for Merchant Navy Day, was maritime records, including this photo of Cardiff East Dock in 1883, from the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce collection.

ICYMI: “The Poet” with Dai Davies (@GenealCymru) tells of a Welsh poet whose politics were deemed controversial, and we’re looking for a David Thomas pre-1757.

Thank you @martinjohnes for giving a talk to Glamorgan FHS Cardiff branch recently about the Welsh Not and use of the Welsh language in Victorian schools. Our members really appreciated an evidence-based analysis of attitudes to C19 Welsh language use in an educational setting.
