Diolch Claudio,

Hello Linda, if you have data about your relative like the whole name, wife or husband name, childrens names, maybe it is possible to track or search for results in the families of Patagonia, as Wally told you, there are two complete books of geneal…
Thanks for those links Ashley. Couldn't find anything on the census though. I'm thinking it might not have been a very thorough census.
here are a few Web sites:

Does anyone have any suggestions for researching family history of Welsh settlers in Patagonia? a relative of mine emigrated there in 1886 but I can't find any record of her after 1900? I am based in Cardiff, South Wales and happy to hunt out record…

- Hi Linda,
My name is Richard Floyd and I have been researching my Father's lineage, Floyd, for a couple of years now and have hit a rodd block with Edward FLoyd born 1613 in Henrico VIrginia. I have been assured by others that his heritage is Welsh... Can't find his spouse nor his parents and I am trying to find out how we got here and when... I know there are 10 LDS centers in Wales but they won't deal with email or written letters.... So I desperately need help from some kind person in Wales....
Hope you are the one,
RIchard

- The best time for visiting Patagonia is at the end of the Spring, end of November and beginning of December if you want to see some sea life (seawolves, whales, sea elephants, penguins etc). If you like wintersports the best time is July and August, but you can enjoy the snow at the morning and the beach in the afternoon all on the same day travelling from the mountains to the seaside. Yr Wladfa (the colony) is beatiful and the people use to speak welsh, especially my town -Gaiman-. Patagonia is really BEAUTIFUL, we use to care of our wildlife and colorful landscapes. I recommend you to take a look to the glaciers and the city of Ushuaia named as "the city of the end of the world".

- Hello LInda,
Sorry for my delay. Indeed, Ceris is still working at the Library for sure. Guess what? I´ve read something about Tabitha Thomas but I cannot remember where. I will look on my notes and see what can I find. At Aberystwyth look for Ceris or for Eirionnedd and Derek Baskerville, they're working on Patagonia's history too By my side, I will travel to Cymru on September. Ceris will come to Patagonia for the Eistedfodd on July with some other welsh people..

- Dear Linda,
I don't have much information on that. I checked out for you surname in the Albina Jones book but there are no Jensen´s there. If you speak welsh you can google the name Albina Jones de Zampini. She is an old woman that made a terrific work gathering all history of people which came in the earlier 1900 and before. I use to visit Aberystwyth library there are many researchers that got all the information and siwr you'll find everything you need there. Contact Ceris Gruffudd there and tell him that you´re my friend. Tan tro nesa.
