I am unable to find the "Bettws" parish registers (Glamorgan) in the Family History Catalog? Does "
I want to view the ORIGINAL parish record - SEEMS the year of christening should be 1786 vs 1796.
CHRISTENING-CHILD-SPOUSE: Glamorgan Baptism Index (1569 - 1837);
searched 16 Apr 2006 via CD rom by Ruth Ann Bagley after obtaining information from Kathleen Rhys of Glamorgan FHS (look-up service);
EXTRACT:
Surname: JAMES Forename: JOHN
Father: JOHN Occupation: (blank)
Mother: CATHERINE Date: 31 JUL 1796 (sic)
Address: (blank)
Age: (blank)
Parish: BTTWS (Bettws);
COMMENT:
This CD definitely gives year of christening as 1796, not 1786. Try to view original record (BT and/or parish records).
I'm trying to learn more about this man since he fits the family oral tradition "drowned in Wales while crossing a river on a horse". He died 1834 (Briton Ferry, Neath Parish).
My Grandmother began researching this family in 1919 (101 years ago), and I'm hoping more records have become available. Have tried EVERYTHING, including Y-DNA testing.
Thank you.

I used FS / Search / Catalogue / Place and looked for Bettws. "Wales, Glamorgan, Bettws" seemed easy to find:
It appears to redirect to "Betws Tir Iarill" and the catalogue entries say "Bettws is also known as 'Betws Tir Iarill'."
Accessing the images is another matter - I can't reach them - if you're a member, you might have better luck, but I'm not and couldn't. FindMyPast say that the parish declined to take part in the digitisation programme.
