My Great Grandfather came to SE Nebraska in 1886 and ended up as pastor of 3 churches… Crab Orchard, Vesta and another, one of which was always done in Welsh

The narrator of this excellent documentary is Robert Humphries. He is now the Director of the Great Plains Welsh Heritage Centre in Wymore, Nebraska. Robert was interviewed in December 2023 about the Centre and the surrounding history of the Welsh in the Great Plains.

Spencer Cohorst has such a Welsh face - broad features and big blue eyes. You could have come off the street in Carmarthen! Fantastic documentary - and what dedication from the people who run the museum and preserve artefacts, and are so honoured by their Welsh heritage ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

1:04 kilts have absolutely nothing to do with Wales. Just for accuracy

Lovely documentary, I'm from Merthyr Tydfil but live in Abercynon s Wales.

I actually enjoyed this! Didn't realise there was such a large Welsh community in some States!

Ah, the Hiraeth...

Thank you for this wonderful documentary.

I think the Welsh can claim a much earlier migration with Prince Madoc ,also his brother ,King Arthur II was killed there by unfriendly locals.

I’m Welsh, born and bred. I’m ashamed. It wasn’t their land to take.

Helo sut mae from Ceri Jones in the Rhondda Valley, great content I knew there were a lot of Welsh communities in the US it's just the Irish and the Scottish seem to be more prominent and known about.

Preserve this heritage. Do not let them interbreed with other races.

I always thought my last name, Williams, was changed to Williams at Ellis Island or something. As it turns out, the last name has been the family last name for 500 years, and straight from Wales. I even found my ancestor who made the trip across the Atlantic.

Welsh in the temperance movement---think about how different that is from the Irish and Scots, who were all about drinking!

Some of these Welsh descendants have really beautiful blue-gray eyes! A Welsh trait?

Funny, I'm in Wisconsin. And about 10 miles up the road from us is the town of Wales. All the street signs and names are in the Welsh language. Also, in the southwestern portion of our state there happens to be a good sized Cornish community out that way. I know a lot of people with last names like Evans, Davis, Hughes, Llewellyn, Lloyd, etc.. up here as well. This was good to watch. Thanks for uploading this!

Stanley Owens at 10.28 my family Owens comes from Cardigan mostly Sth Wales, I’m from Australia.

I am Welsh born in the Rhondda Valley but now live in Belgium

I am Welsh with great grandparents and my Taid, William and Catherine Jones from Llangevney and William Hughes from Brynsiencyn, Angelsey? I live near Utica, NY. CYMRU AM BYTH

Great video! Start learning some Cymraeg today! th-cam.com/play/PLlIv8YAsro1bkhdj8wKiZdTWkPMZCCM01.html

I have Jones ancestors who immigrated to Colonial Virginia in the 1600s...father and son were Rectors at Bruton Parish Williamsburg

My ancestor went to Pennsylvania he helped William Penn settle a community of Quakers he was the first governor of Pennsylvania Lord Thomas Lloyd. His son Marmaduke stayed in Wales and was killed by Oliver Cromwells men at the battle of Saint Fagans. I live less than 1 mile from the field on which he was killed over 300 years ago. I also found out Marmadukes son was a member of parliament and adviser to King Charles the II and we started Lloyds Bank. History is crazy I can't even get a loan at Lloyds for £1000 now.

My great grandparents came from Flintshire in Northern Wales. They settled in Wayne County Nebraska. They had built the Bethany Presbyterian Church south southwest of Carroll. I had heard (I don't know if it is true. ) the church was referred to as the Roberts Church. Alot of my kin are buried there. The Church no longer stands. Thats my 2 cents worth. I am trying to find more on the Roberts, my great grandfather married a woman with Roberts as a maiden name.

Cariad fawr o Gymru De! Much love from South Wales <3

This surprised me, I thought it was just my Danish ancestors out that way (Wisconsin and Iowa) and Germans ( in Wymore, NE) and a few eastern europeans that could make a tin and enameled onion domed building, new.

thanks for this

da iawn

Some of my ancestors- 3 brothers left Wales for America in the mid 1800s. They allegedly took with them the money from a family owned foundry leaving the remaining family bankrupt. They were supposed to have headed towards Atlanta.

My Last name is Reece (Rhrys). I understand that name is Welsh.

This is so interesting to hear about the Welsh travelling so far and settling

2:50 the harp tune is "Hiraeth," "Longing," a feeling that dogged the emigrants as they remembered their homeland.

My paternal grandfather's last name was Welch. I didn't know him very well but I understand he came from an orphanage in Nebraska. Apparently the name Welch has been used by people who came frome Wales. I moved to the Missouri Ozarks about 6 months ago, and the other day I had someone ask me if I was Welsh, and said I look like a Welshman. When all us said and done, if I turn out not to have Welsh blood after all, because I'm definitely Scottish and Irish, I'll always consider the Welsh my CelticGaelic kin.

When I was young I read that Jayne Mansfield came from Brynmawr. As this was just up the road from me in Gwent, South Wales I thought she was Welsh up until a couple of years ago. Turned out she was from Brynmawr, Pennsylvania. Duh.
