My ancestor was baptised on the 9th May 1841 at Risca. His mother was named Eliza no data on father. Would anyone know what churches are located in Risca in 1841.I could check out their books.

kind regards Dave

One question, who was rowleen2.

Where did you get it from as nothing shown on this post that matches that name

[welshbear2013]

Had an email from roots. This person saying he had the birth certificate of my ancestors and if I wanted it to email them. Don't say anything because of copyright. Went off line to go shopping and the message had gone when I returned.

regards Dave

P.S. also had message in in box telling me to disregard this message
