from my email news from the Family History Libray, Salt Lake City, Utah USA
I enquired of a list friend about a timetable for filing / digitisation of Welsh parish registers because at the moment only bishops transcripts are available:-


A very-recent visitor to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, talked with a knowledgeable person there about the Welsh parish register situation, who he had heard rumors, but had no official confirmation yet about their release for filming.

However, he said, he didn't think the LDS was filming in the UK at the present time.

With the coming of digitization at the FHL it is entirely possible that filming will be skipped and the records will be digitized directly.

He pointed out that the FHL staff haven't anything to do with filming or digitization; that is handled by another branch of the church, its Family History Department in its headquarters building.

thank you very much
