MONTANA WELSH SOCIETY?

Montana was reported to have the seventh largest number of Welsh immigrants during the early part of the 20th century and we don't have any sort of a group to celebrate our heritage. I don't know how many of you are still here, but the phone books are full of Jones', Hughs', Evans', Jenkins, etc. so I imagine that some of you who are still living in Montana have Welsh roots.

If you are interested in forming a Welsh Society for the purpose of learning more of Welsh culture, c

Final Jeopardy question last night: "What is the Prince of Wales?"

Last night's (2-8-10) broadcast of Jeopardy!, featured the the following as the Final Jeopardy answer, under the category of "Ranks & Titles" . . . . "Owain Glyndwr, who died circa 1416, was the last native of his country to hold this title." I nearly fell out of my chair (ok, the couch).... only one of the three contestants (it's the college tournament) got it correct..... and on a misty-eyed selfish note, my 2 year old (named Owen Glyndwr Parry), said his full name correctly for the first… Continue

E. T. Willows of Cardiff

He is remembered in the name of a street a pub and a school in Cardiff. His achievements are recorded on a clock face in Cardiff Bay but his grave lies forgotten and neglected in Cardiff’s Cathays Cemetery.

His gravestone tells us

Captain E. T. Willows

Only beloved son of Joseph and Eva Willows

Died August 3 1926

At rest

The letters on the simple stone are metal and are falling off. Without them his grave will lose its identity and become no different

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS

Has this ever happened to you???? Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effec… Continue

THE TUDORS INTERPRETATION OF WELSH HISTORY AND DISCOVERY OF AMERICA PUT PN EBAY FOR £4,995

I found the attached article in the Western Mail today. I cannot believe that there has been no support from Wales of the book Written by Humphrey Llwyd and published in 1599, which has been attributed to as the first PRINTED WELSH HISTORY. The history also accounts for Madoc discovering American in 1170. Whether you agree with this premise is a personal opinion. the fact that THIS MANUSCRIPT HAS BEEN LOST TO OUR NATION AND IS SOOOOOOOO important. We must not lose it. It is as precious to our n… Continue

Wales Coal Miners........................

List, I just found out that my family, Morris, migrated from Wales to South Western Pennsylvania, setttled into Tyrone Township, Fayette County, PA and worked the coal mines here. I have been doing family history for a long time. This is one brick wall I can't break down. I want to find the Wales connection. My great, great, great grandfather's name was Samuel Morris. This is the earliest I've been able to search. Can anyone suggest books on coal miners names or photos that would have migrated… Continue

Ospreys dive on the Leicester Tigers

Consternation has erupted here. Indignity, contempt and the whiff of skulduggery permeates the air. Why is this I hear you ask. Some political intrigue? Some accusation of watering down beer? No! It's cheating at rugby that has raised its ugly head. In a recent Heinekin cup game the Ospreys ( a fine soaring Welsh side) had the bare faced cheek to field sixteen players against The Leicester Tigers ( a dark and insidious English side who believe in the divine rights of Englishmen) . The Taff won… Continue
