Over 100 years ago my
ancestor packed his bags and set sail across the sea to start life in
a new country. Leaving his home in Wales he settled and started a new
adventure in the Big Apple in the USA.
Living and working in
New York he soon made a new life for himself and met a woman who he
courted and then married. After marrying his beloved they soon had a
family, with their children going on to have children of their own
and so forth until today where there is a long line of his
descendents living in various areas of America. His descendants are
our distant relatives.
About 15 years ago
whilst doing family tree research I found all of this out and made
contact with a number of our relatives living across the pond. Since
then we have stayed in contact, speaking regularly thanks to the
wonder of the world wide web. The relatives we are closest to who
still live in New York have also visited us twice whilst holidaying
in the UK.
