Welsh Genealogy

While the industrial revolution brought people from other parts of the world to Wales, it was a time that also saw thousands of Welsh people bring their skills to other parts of the world. If your own family history originated in Wales and you want to discover more about your past with a trip to Wales, contact us today and we’ll help you plan an insightful itinerary.

Thousands of Welsh migrated to regions throughout the British Isles, but many also ended up travelling further afield to start a new life. One of the more interesting places where they ended up was in the Patagonia region of Argentina.

Other far flung destinations included Australia and New Zealand, but as was the case for many populations leaving the British Isles, the majority ended up in North America.

When compared to some other migrating populations, the Welsh numbers are proportionately lower, however there are currently estimated to be 1.75 million Americans of Welsh descent and close to half a million Canadians.

If your journey to Wales is to rediscover your own Welsh heritage, the National Library of Wales is the main repository for family history research, holding a vast number of records useful to anyone learning about their family’s past.

We can also assist your in researching your Welsh past as you also explore the culture of your ancestors, and put you in touch with expert genealogists to help you learn more. Get in touch today to start planning your trip.
