This will be an invaluable resource for those researching Welsh ancestors

Hi,
is it just me? Every very single  search result  I can not view the article when I click on it -  This the message that I get "Gwall

Yn anffodus nid yw’r dudalen y chwilioch chi amdani ar gael. Sicrhewch fod y cyfeiriad yn gywir gennych chi.

Os dilynoch chi ddolen o wefan y Llyfrgell, a fyddech chi cystal â llenwi ein ffurflen wall i roi gwybod i ni?

Hi Cell

I'm getting the same today, too 

I've been reading up the many articles on my 3 x great uncle, James Burgess,  in the Llangollen Advertizer (he was a policeman in Llanrwst, Rhosllenerchrugog, Glynceiriog and then Llantysilio, where he died). I managed to get his death notice at the weekend but now I can only get as far as the first few lines of the various reports.  I was also hoping to find some info on his son's drowning in Glyndyfrdwy*.

We're very lucky to have such a resource though

* managed to find the first lines of the report - 27 June 1884 edn

Added - it's back now

Hi gadget,
yes, it's now  working  - I thought it was me .

It's great isn't it.  I've access to gales via Aus library , but not all these Welsh papers- I've already found one article  that I've been after for ages.

This is the best thing to have happened for years !

Kind Regards

The site contains one English County too. W. H. Routledge, my American born 2nd Cousin 3 times removed lost his dog Laddie and offered a reward. W.H. was living in Bedwelty House, Tregedar, Monmouthshire, England on 9 December 1898 when one of his many lost and found advertisements was published. W.H. moved to Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, England where he died on 6 April 1927.

Barryd : Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers. Monmouthshire is in Wales !

Thank you Morganllan for letting us know. It is already interesting but will be more useful as more newspapers are added- see below

'The resource will continue to grow as more titles are added during 2013, including: Western Mail, North Wales Chronicle, Y Cymro, and Cardiff Times'
