WSWNE Welsh Genealogy Workshops
We have an active group that had been meeting in person every other month to research our Welsh family trees together in Glastonbury, CT.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, online chats via ZOOM were introduced as a new approach to help members solve their Welsh ancestry puzzles.
Now we do BOTH, with some ZOOM and some IN PERSON opportunities, typically twice a month.
Check on our EVENTS page for upcoming In-person and ZOOM sessions and occasional featured presentations as well.

Welsh Culture and History
Click on the Red Dragon (Ddraig goch) Welsh flag above to go directly to the page called Welsh Culture and History under the Resources menu item.
Actually, every page of our website reflects Welsh culture and history from Arthur (King Arthur that is) to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).
Why "A to Y" and not "A to Z"? That's because there is no "Z" in the traditional Welsh alphabet!
From Dylan Thomas poetry to Six Nations Rugby, Welsh cakes to Welsh choirs, Welsh slate to Welsh triple harp – and so much more.
And, if you live in western New England, please consider joining us in our many activities.
