Abercanaid, in the Parish of Merthyr Tydfil, is situated 2 miles south of the town centre of Merthyr Tydfil. It is between the River Taff to the east and the Glamorganshire Canal (built 1794) to the west. The village is bordered by four collieries, one of which was the Graig Pit, opened by Lucy Thomas in the 1830’s. The Calvinistic Methodist Chapel Graig, was named after the district, the Graig. it was a Welsh speaking chapel and later became part of the Presbyterian Church in Wales. The Chapel has a large cemetery, bounded on one side by the canal and Anthony’s Grove on the other. In the early 1990s a group of school children with the late Sue Medd, then GFHS MT Secretary, recorded a lot of the head-stones as part of a project. This list was forgotten about until a newspaper article, in 2004, stated that the land and grave yard were to be sold and houses built on the site. The CD contains the children’s transcripts and those that were photographed and transcribed in 2004 by Jean & Alun Jones. This is the only known record of this now derelict graveyard in existence.

Danygraig Cemetery was opened for burials on 1st January,1857 according to an announcement in the ‘Cambrian’ newspaper, although there are entries in the burial registers from October 1856. Danygraig was the first Municipal Cemetery in Swansea, intended to replace the overcrowded and potentially unsanitary graveyards in the town centre. It is situated above the Port Tennant area of Swansea, east of the district of St. Thomas, in a moderately elevated position on the side of Kilvey Hill. At the time it was opened it overlooked an area known as Fabian’s Bay, but from the late 1870s the docks on the eastern side of the river Tawe were constructed there. The docks area is now being developed as the ‘SA1 development’. The CD contains approx 21,500 entries which are indexed alphabetically by Surname, Forename and give Address, Grave No., Date and Register No.

In the burial index, all widows using their maiden name are listed under their husband\'s surname, with their maiden name following their forename. Modern place-names have been used where positively identified.

This CD is a scanned version of the book “The Glamorgan Hearth Tax Assessment of 1670”, edited by Elizabeth Parkinson and published by the South Wales Record Society in 1994. Hearth Tax was introduced in 1662 and continued to be levied until 1689. The regular Assessments were supposed to record all householders in each parish and hamlet by name and the number of hearths for which they were liable to be taxed. While some poorer householders were exempt from the tax, their names were still to be included in the Assessment. Only two seemingly complete Assessments for Glamorgan have survived, of which this is one, and its value for family historians lies in its providing the names of the inhabitants of the county by parish at a date from which few parish registers have survived, as well as giving some insight into the social standing of named individuals.
