I have also noticed the buttin labeled CAE is the correct abreviation for Caernarfonshire / Caernarvonshire but when it goes to the page it says Carmarthenshire instead of Caernarfonshire or Caernarvonshire.

I have noticed that you only have one picture of Capel Curig a'i fam Julita ( Chapel of St Curig and his mother Julitta). I have many photos of this Chapel. Some taken by The Friends of St Julitta, the group that maintains the chapel building, grounds & records. & some taken by My friend in Wales. I several ancestors buried there & have a copy of the MI transcripts for this Chapel.

@Stephanie Jones... In terms of in depth information about the migration from Wales to Racine, WI in the 1840's, the best source I've seen is a publication called "The Welsh in Wisconsin" by Phillips G. Davis, published bt the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in 1982. Basically, at this time travel via boat thru the Great Lakes (to Racine and Milwaukee) was the easiest route inland to less expensive land going westward (the direction that the U.S. was settled).

Hi, Chip. That's so interesting about the Welsh immigrants coming to Racine in the 1840s. I've not done much work on my HUMPHREYS family yet, but I have discovered that my ancestor Owen Humphreys was born around 1828 in Wales, came to the US around 1847, and was apparently in Racine, Wisconsin at least by the 1850s (his family eventually did move further west, all the way to Washington). I always wondered why Racine. Do have any sources to point me to that would give more information about the history of the Welsh in Racine?

I have traced my Griffiths ancestry back to David of Crai Griffith in Blancrai, Powys, Wales. UK circa 1667 does anyone have any further information

Whilst browsing through the members names I noticed the surname MANLEY.
My Great Grandmother Katherine Manley was born in Cardiff.
