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.

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.
