Our roots are firmly in West Wales, but the family has its origins, not  only in the industrial south and rural heart of Wales, but from all parts of  England.   From Cornwall whence came the tin and copper miners to work  the lead and silver mines of Wales.   From the beautiful counties of Somerset,  Rutland and Northamptonshire.   From the rolling hills and secret valleys of  North Wiltshire.   From Gloucestershire to work in the mines of  Glamorganshire.   From the great sea-port of Liverpool and the banks of the  Thames.  Others emigrated overseas and our family spread to Canada, Australia  and Peru.   Like many others, our Tree links together people of  differing backgrounds and cultures, and this is The Welsh Connection.
