= Finding Registration District =

Beginning in 1837, the Welsh would register their births, marriages, and deaths in the registration district they were living in. The civil records are organized by district. Therefore, it is beneficial to know the registration district in order to find the civil record of an ancestor. ''Knowing the parish is necessary to find the registration district. Go to Finding the Wales County or Parish of Origin to learn how to find the parish.''

To find the registration district:

 * Go to UKBMD: Wales 1851 map to see all registration districts as of 1851.
 * Go to UKBMD: Registration Districts and click on the county to see a list of civil registration districts in that county.
