Family & Social History Group
In 2022, the Gilwern u3a Family & Social History Group initiated a project to create an online database of memories from long-term residents born within the Parish of Llanelly, including Gilwern, Clydach, Maesygwartha, and Llanelly Hill.
We are very grateful to the participants for agreeing to be interviewed and would welcome hearing from anyone else who may be interested. We are particularly looking for participants from the Llanelly Hill area. The completed project will provide a fascinating insight into how this area has changed, and it will provide a valuable resource for family and social historians now and in the future.
Group members have been conducting interviews following an agreed format, recording responses with permission, and transcribing them. Participants are given the opportunity to review and amend their responses before the final document is created.

If you, or anyone you know might be interested in being interviewed, please get in touch with us.
