> If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Does anyone have any reasons for why Welsh people immigrated to America? I am doing a project for school, and can't find it anywhere. web sites would also be helpful. thank you! Generally, I cannot help you. However, I was told a number of stories by the wife of one Welsh immigrant. He immigrated to establish a ranch in the Texas Panhandle. He was a barrister but did not continue the practice of law in the U.S. He died in 1917. His wife was about 93 when she died. She was English.
