Do you have you a Jones, a Davies or a Thomas in your family tree? Do you know the difference between Aberhonddu and Brecon? Did your ancestors worship at chapel or at church? Did your ancestors move to or from Wales?

The course includes:
- Civil and ecclesiastical records, with a focus on non-conformity
