I haven't managed to find anything yet  :'(

Don't give up! If you have failed to find anything yet it is worth re-visiting the resource every now and again over the next few months because there are loads of new papers due for inclusion over the summer months. A full list of those coming soon can be found here:

Thanks; since my earlier post I've found a death notice for my great great grandmother. Lots more records to come as you say, so will return to them at some point.

Briefly disappointed not to be able to access this site for a while earlier today, then thrilled to find how much more had been put on it.  Including an obituary of my great great grandfather.  Thank you, NLW, for this wonderful resource.

       For your information, Cambrian News & Meirioneth Standard is now on line.  It also seems to cover Mid Wales and Lleyn area.  I've found a few articles about my Green family in Portmadoc.  Good luck.

I haven't been able to find any of my ancestors on it. Is there a way to search for individual names?

Try different forms of the name, eg in my family "david richards" or "mr d richards".  Or if you know the occupation, "richards hatter", or the location "richards cardiff", or anything else you know eg a link to a chapel, jones AND bethany.
