1911 CENSUS - SCHEDULES IN WELSH: TRANSLATIONS FROM WELSH INTO ENGLISH Recent additions or other changes are shown in blue LOOK-UP TABLE:  OCCUPATIONS  GWAITH PERSONOL = PERSONAL OCCUPATION CHALLENGES IN  TRANSLATING  OCCUPATIONS  The following look-up table shows the literal English translations of the individual words you may find in the "Personal Occupation" column. These are more specific than the generalised occupation in English, referred to in the Challenges in Translating Occupations and shown in search results. The primary source for the translations shown in the table is the concise version of the first edition of the "Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru" - A Dictionary of the Welsh Language - produced by The University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, at Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. Use the following "NAVIGATION KEYS" as shortcuts to go to the first letter of the Welsh word you want to look up. They are listed in order using the English alphabet, not the Welsh one: for example, an occupation starting with "Ch" appears between "Ce" and "Ci".   A An B Ca Ch D E F Ga Gw H I     L M N O P   R S
