The following is a list of reference works on Merionethshire which volunteers are willing to search for specific entries.


Topic: LINK: Merioneth Local History
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,52733.0.html


Hanes Methodistiaeth Corris A'r Amgylchoedd - Griffith Ellis (1885)
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsmer2/corris/index.html

Although primarily a book about the history of the Methodist Church in Corris, with a strong emphasis on religious life, it contains quite a bit of genealogical information about those who were influential in the local methodist chapels.
