2009
The National Library of Wales NLW operated The Welsh Helpdesk (complete with daffodils) and their stand
stood out alongside the big names of TNA, Ancestry.co.uk, and Times Archive - the photos are by courtesy of Beryl Evans
of the NLW.
The Association's Chairman gave talks on "Family History in Wales", in the Regional Workshop
organised by the Society of Genealogists (SoG), and tickets for his talks sold out very quickly with over 120 people
attending them on each of the three days. He also spent a number of hours each day answering queries
in the SoG's "Ask the Experts" area of the Show.
2010
The National Library of
Wales (NLW) again ran its very popular "Welsh Helpdesk Stand", and Beryl Evans of the NLW and the
Association's Chairman each gave talks on researching Family History in Wales. The Chairman also spent
a number of hours each day answering queries in the SoG's "Ask the Experts" area of the Show. Glamorgan FHS
and the Guild of One-Name Studies manned tables within the SoG's Family History section of the Show on all three
days. Additionally within that section, Gwent FHS manned a table on the very busy Saturday, whilst the Association
displayed leaflets on all three days for its other members unable to attend.
2011
Last minute problems prevented the Association's Chairman from attending.but Beryl Evans of the NLW stepped into
the breach to fill his speaker's slots in addition to her own (as well as manning the NLW's Welsh Helpdesk), so there
was a talk on Welsh Probate Records on all three days. The Association's Secretary, Menna Evans managed an Association
stand on all three days, ably assisted by volunteers from the London Branch of the Welsh Family History Societies (see the picture on the right), and Glamorgan FHS
also manned a number of tables on all three days.
