Quotes:
"The stations and villages along the route to Holyhead looked worn down and depressing. It was as if all the millions of lonely Irish people who traveled this way - this was the principal route to Ireland - had devoured the landscape with their eyes, looked upon it with such hunger that there was little of it left to take hold of and examine." -- The Kingdom by the Sea Paul Theroux Sections below provide additional information and links about Holyhead travel and tourism, maps, recreation, government and transportation. | Cemeteries | Wales cemeteries - message board | Communities | Communities near Holyhead | Events | ePodunk festival listings | Family history & family records | Anglesey message board | Birth, marriage and death records - nationwide BritishIslesGenWeb British phone books 1880-1984 Census records Genuki - Wales Genuki page for Anglesey GenWeb page for Isle of Anglesey Family Records Centre General Register Office - UK Immigration records Military records Parish & probate record search Probate record guide Wills - Search National Archives Government | Wales Office | UK government History | National Archives
