Good points to be sure on all comments. I see the folks on this thread are well informed on things Welsh. I have cousins in Randnorshire that I was lucky enough to visit last year and found them a little strange as they did not seem to be overly Welsh and blended in with the English. But reading the history of the Welsh ex pats they seem to blend in with their new country wether it be England the US or elsware. My Grand parents spoke only Welsh at home but at school they were made fun of and never taught their kids Welsh, nore their grand kids. That was in the early 1900's. I know if it was me I would be fighting for independence, but from what I read in the Welsh news is that they are in the minority as most seem to want to stay in the Union.

I wish I had seen this when you were compling this list.Most people don't realize that David Thompson was a Welshmen or what he did for North America. He was a Welsh orphan in London in the late 1700's when he was slected to sail to Canada and work for the Hudson Bay Company. He was droped off just south of the artic circle and had to make his way south to HBC headquarters. He then went on to explor Northwest Canada and America looking for the Clombia river. Lewis and Clark used one of his early maps. on their journy west in 1802. David took his wife and kids on his journys and criscrossed the Northwest of North America many times. He was the first white man in Washington. Idaho and Montana. Norm Morgan

I hope they are able to persue this futher, as the Welsh nation needs to get their due credit in history. There is alot that went on in the early migrations of people around the world. Then we can finaly shut the English up. Please keep us posted on any futher findings. Norm Morgan
