Answer 2

I went to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Reliable_Sources_for_Pre-1700_Profiles to see if the project had a Reliable Sources page & found this page that might be of help:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Wales_Pre_1500_Resources (unfortunately, the link for Bartrum is no longer live)

freereg.org.uk also includes some records from Wales

I knew I should have bookmarked Stuart's post about where to find Bartrum online these days. Found it!

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1301779/cadair-website-no-longer-available

It gives a link to [this page], which has links to zip files with the charts. Keep in mind that Bartrum has generational problems and includes some leaps of faith rather than logic. The [Wales Pre-1500 Resources page] includes a link to Darrell Wolcott's discussion of cautions ([this article]) that is well worth the read.

Answer 3

Many of the  resources on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources will also be relevant for Wales they share a legal system and government which create many of the records we use.
