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.
