For those of you with ancestors, coastguards or otherwise, who served or lived around South Wales, Swansea Library has placed The Cambrian Newspaper 1804-1930 Index online and it's a free resource. http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5673 As well as general regional news and family notices there are references to coastguards that served in South Wales in shipping, BMD and military notices. See the website for information including how and where to consult the microfilmed version of The Cambrian. Here are a 3 of the 53 hits for the word coastguard as examples of what's online: Cambrian K62 SOCIAL, LOCAL DIGNITARIES, HONOURS 10 August 1839 LLOYDS COMMITTEE AWARDS £20 TO PORTHCAWL COASTGUARD FOR RESCUING CREW OF 'CHARLES', ST.JOHN'S,WRECKED NEAR NASH POINT.
