The National Library in Aberystwyth has Bishops Transcripts for all of the areas and also some Parish Registers.

Ffestiniog would be Dolgellau and Conwy in Caernarfon but check their opening times

Something I forgot to mention.

A lot of North Wales records are now on http://www.findmypast.co.uk

Printing at some of the record offices can be expensive but are cheaper at the National Library.

Using the above web site can make it easier to find a record and, if you want a lot of images, the cheapest subscription might be worthwhile.

Thank you all for the pointers you have left in your messages... I didnt realise also that i am staying about 50 yrds away from Dolgellu records office which should hold alot of the Festiniog ones too  :)  Planning to spend the day in wrexham on the saturday at the Clwyd FHS too.  Sorry for my tardy reply but couldnt access Rootschat yesterday as link was down but once again a big thank you.
