Where Are The Welsh?

[Bobcat Fraser]

Are there any Welsh members here? I know that Treffie (or Arthur) is Welsh, but he no longer posts on Apricity. Surely, there must be a few *active* members from Wales. They seem to be rarer than Irish members.

I think Welsh people don't readily say I'm Welsh but rather say I'm English but if asked what they really were they would say they were Welsh.

Wash your mouth out girl:D The Welsh are a very proud nation and as anti English as the Scots:cool:

If there are any Welsh on here you'll be getting hate mail after that comment;)

Anyway, screw the Welsh, where are the Danes?:)

Wales is made up fiction like Narnia.

Yes Graham and one where they speak their own language;)

Aren't the Welsh related to the Wallachs, also known as Vlachs?

Hey Bobcat Fraser, I am 6.25% Welsh through my father's side. His maternal great great grandfather came from Wales to western PA. The family eventually moved to Wheeling, WV. His surname was Griffis.

I don't think so. The true Welsh are pure Celts, pushed to the edge of Britain by Germanic and Norman invaders.

The etymology is related. The ethnicity isn't. Both "Vlachs" and "Welsh" were names used to describe foreign people or strangers. The Welsh are more related to the Cherokee, though.;)

You can be one of our token taffs. All of my grandparents had Welsh ancestry. Daniel Boone's Welsh grandpa was one of my forebears. Boone had an English father and a Welsh mother.

[The Lawspeaker]

I am moving it to the Welsh section and I will stick it there so if a Welshman passes by he will be the first to notice it.

[Longbowman]

I have exactly zero (known) Welsh ancestry but I do come from one of those English settler families and have lived for years in the Beacons and Snowdonia. Do I count?

[Tooting Carmen]

I live in Swansea, my Grandfather was Welsh and so are some surviving relatives.
