Welcome!

Welcome to the Ogre blog spot...

The OGRE website (http://www.cefnpennar.com) is, amongst other things, the publication of a project to photograph and catalogue gravestone inscriptions prior to 1930 in South Wales, UK. The site provides images of all the headstones and an inscription where possible, subject to damage and illegibility.

It is provided as a free genealogical research tool for users worldwide, and also hosts some other free resources, for example, the 1873 Landowners Returns for Wales.

I've created this blog to provide a forum for users of the OGRE website to provide feedback and comments on the site, and also as an area where I can provide information on upcoming graveyards, and the progress of the transcription of the graveyards.

Use and enjoy!
