Welsh in the Klondike, 1890s

12/29/10 10:00:37AM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

I'm reading that fine organ The South Wales Echo on the train. Anyone whose antecedents were gold miners in the Klondike might like to log on to Walesonline.co.uk for the letters page (called Viewpoints). Gareth Roberts of Deiniolen, Caernarfon, is seeking information about Welsh people who went to the Klondike in the 1890s as he intends to retrace the journey made by these people and record it in various forms. His e-mail address is garmel@fsmail.net.

True, Wales has broadly followed the samemodel as England as far as official documents are concerned. However, thatmindset tends to disregard any particular Welsh issues that influence thecontent of historical documents. From years of helping people trace theirancestry...

What does it mean to be Welsh?

03/04/13 12:07:56PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

On Friday, 1st March, in the Western Mail, there was a feature by Abbie Wightwick (English/Irish) on what it means to be Welsh in 2013. I've tried looking up the article on WalesOnline but failed to find it.She mentions at the start of the feature that her children see themselves as Welsh, even though their father is Norwegian/Scottish/English and she is English/Irish.Ten people were asked about their Welshness. (1) Vimla Patel, Chair of the Hindu Council of Wales, said that she arrived in...

The Big Welsh Challenge

06/07/13 03:35:51PM, by Harold Powell

I'm sure most AC members already know about this so I posted it for newbies. This is a good supplement for beginning Welsh learners. Includes North and South Walian dialects. It's interactive and works best with FLASH but there's a scaled down version for Apple users: Free from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/learnwelsh/bigwelshchallenge/

Top 50 Welsh Songs Ever?

08/13/12 04:13:26PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

The Western Mail has published a list of top Welsh songs on www.walesonline.co.uk/topsong . The list includes Mae Rhywyn Wedi Dwyn Fy Nhrwyn by Y Tebot Piws (on everyone's list I think) and, of course, the great Hymns & Arias. I quote: "You couldn't get more Welsh than Max Boyce if you carpeted your house with turf from Stradey Park while watching endless looped screenings of Grand Slam, eating cawl and shouting 'Over by there, mun'. And you can't say fairer than that.

The Welsh Space Campaign

06/10/13 08:04:56PM, by Robert W. Allen

Posted today at Metafilter: The Welsh Space Campaign. The suit is made of the fabric woven in the last remaining wool mills in Wales. The astronaut boots are traditional Welsh clogs crafted by a traditional clog maker. The whole pressure system that will enable the astronaut to sustain life in outer space was built by a Welsh plumber . The aim of the designer is to reveal that Wales has the capacity to explore space, and to show that off-world culturalisation can be achieved...

Welsh Christmas story (Nadolig Llawen!)

12/22/20 09:43:36PM, by Rhian Waller

Hwyl, pawb!  Sorry to crash back in like this after an absence of, er, eight years. I just thought you would be the kind of people who would appreciate this.  It's a children's Christmas tale written especially because we can't do our usual seasonal storytelling this year. It's set in south Wales and based on a (mostly true) family story, but it came about because Teresa mayor of Yr Wyddgrug asked me to write it. This is her reading. I thought you or your kids might want to...

A Welsh Octogenarian Remembers by Bel Roberts

11/26/17 08:42:51PM, by Bel Roberts2

In ‘the good old days’ we knew our fated place in the God-forsaken, odd, mistaken scheme of things. Dirt-poor, we bore the burdens of our race: bound, gagged, oppressed, mere Celtic underlings. School photos show us boxed in classroom stocks, that fettered brain and will as much as limb, in adults’ cut-down tweeds and shapeless smocks, like sepia shrouds, funereal and grim. At play, we cloned screen heroes, tyrants, crooks, stampeded sheep and rodeo-rode a few; swarmed over hills; swung...
