Hello,
For those interested in the Welsh immigrant-to- America experience, I
HIGHLY recommend this book. I have the original Welsh edition and the
first English edition, but this new on will be even better, as Martha
Davies corrected a lot of translation errors and has fully indexed
this one! I have already pre-ordered 6 copies! Also, please note that
the free shipping on orders received before Oct. 1 includes shipping
overseas!
I am not receiving compensation of any kind for this endorsement-it is my personal
opinion and I hope others find the book useful!

America" has been retranslated by Martha Davies and will be available
October 1, 2008. The original book was published in 1872 in America
in Welsh to tell immigrants and those who want to move west about the
Welsh settlements all over the country. The author was a minister who
traveled widely and had friends in many places. The book gives
hundreds of names of settlers in various places, and describes their
homes, farms and businesses. It tells of all the Welsh Churches in
the country at that time, and discusses the terrain and the prices of
land available in various states. It is a goldmine for Welsh American
Genealogy. The cost of the book is $29.95 plus shipping. Orders
