Hello all,

              not sure if this is the right board to post this but as it was in Friday's South Wales Echo I am posting it on this board.Mods please move it if it should be elsewhere.

Hello both

Not sure where the SW Echo got their info but I wonder if they are confused with the offer of free access to the records in record offices?

I couldn't see anything on the site either (& I think the top link is wrong incidentally)

I believe it was available at the County Record Offices in Wales from yesterday.I should add only the 1911 Census for Wales.

That's what confused me, William, because we had a post about it being free in West Glamorgan a few weeks ago - maybe it only actually began yesterday?
