That link doesn't work. Is it the pre-1858 Welsh wills? They've been online for several years

I've just deconstructed the original links

http://cat.llgc.org.uk/cgi-bin/gw/chameleon?skin=profeb&lng=en

It looks as if the language was supposed to be in English but they come up in Welsh  ;D

Easier now   ~  use the link given in your post and mine  Replies #2 and #3

I was stuck and found your 1st link ...realized that it was adding an extra bit on the end by mistake... not the 1st time that's happened so just knocked that bit off...clicked the english link in the top corner and found  an early Will that I'd been looking for...and was and am very grateful!
You made my day!

Da iawn  :)

There are also many online resources which are listed on the Wills search page.  Over the years, I've used the Marriage Bonds, Newspapers, Tithes and archive collection, etc.

Thank you for the link. I found the will of a 7x great grandfather. I was interested to read that he left his brother all his apparel except his best hat.
