What a wealth of information... such a pleasure to listen to Paul. Thank You!
The selection of maps was much appreciated!
It's always a pleasure to hear Paul's programs. It was very informative to me, since I knew little about Welsh migration. If I find out any of my ancestors had a Wales origin, I will refer to the sources identified in this Webinar.
EXCELLENT. This is the webinar which has prompted me to join the Family Tree Webinars page!
Always great to hear Paul speak. I learn so much about the big picture of history. He still packs it full of details and resources to use too. Great balance of big and small.
I love Paul's webinars. Excellent and helpful as usual!
Very Interesting. Puts a whole new light on a puzzling migration pattern of one of my McDonald family ancestors who had land dealings with the Riys ? Rees family in Chester Co. PA, Frederick Co. VA and Yadkin Co. NC.
Excellent webinar! Well organized, great overview of the history of Welsh emigration, wonderful maps. I always try to watch Paul's webinars since they're always excellent.
