Hi,does anyone have any information on GIGRIN FARM,Radnorshire? Ive traced my family back to living there in abt 1860's. Thanks

Alyson, welcome to rootschat.

Have you thought of googling to find the name of the nearest public library to where the farmis/was and emailing them to ask if they can tell you about it?   They may have a Local Studies section that specialises in such things.

the other option is that if the farm is in a tiny community why not write to the Postmaster and ask if the farm still exists etc?
 I have followed both these approaches and had help.

Hi Charlotte.thanks for your reply. Yes i have emailed the farm,but not heard anything off them. Just thought that maybe someone would have a little information.

Sorry to have crossed wires then... was just a thought. I did it with a farm I was interested in and got a very warm response.
let us know how you get on,

Thanks again for your reply Charlotte,i shouldve put it in the heading that ive contacted the farm. Sorry!!.i will let you know what happens,just seem to hitting a brick wall at the mo lol x

Alyson, Another idea... ask in a separate post if anyone can look up a recent electoral roll for that district to see who livesat that place.  the rolls are arranged by address not surname which suits you... never suits me. !  Put as the subject something like Electoral roll lookup in XXXX

Try it.. try everthing is my rule and eventually something gives and t\you nudge forward..

Hi kmo,thanks for your reply. I have visited that web site,there is nothing on the history of the farm.
