Hello Down Under. Thanks Bettye for responding. Could you tell me about "Welsh Tract"- where is it, who founded it, when, was it a church or a geographical area..? Have their records been published or on WWW? I have traced my Wm & Thomas GEORGE through New Britain,Great Valley, Montgomery Valley, Brandywine, in PA, Hopewell, NJ, to Rhydwilym Chapel where my Wm & Thomas GEORGE were bapt in 1709 & 1712. I appreciate your help, and, Happy Holidays.

In my own research I had a Baptist family who left Pembrokeshire in the early 1700’s and went to Pennsylvania........and the information about them was to be found in the Mormon records in America.........I believe there are some emigrants who wrote up their own stories and the Mormons have them ...probably on line....so look at their data bases. I looked at the information I have in my possession and there is no record of anyone surnamed George joining the people who settled at Welsh Tract where those I was interested in travelled. I’m in Australia, so probably even more remote from the records than you are yourself. Regards, Bettye Kirkwood.

My gf William GEORGE b ca 1696 of Landissillip Parish was bapt 22 Aug 1709 @ Rhydwilym [Baptist] Chapel, Pembrokeshire, Wales. In the 1720s he migrated to the Great Valley Bapt Church in Devon, PA, USA which was founded in 1711 by Welsh immigrants from Rhydwilym Chapel of Pembrokeshire, W Wales, ENG. I do not know of his wife, parents, relatives in Wales. They also have a 17 Aug 1712 bapt for an unknown Thomas GEORGE of Narberth Parish. Could you please offer suggestions for accessing the records of Rhydwilym Chapel?- marriages, deaths, list of baptisms, cemetery records.. or Ancestry.com, FHS files.. Also other civil, migration, ports available, the Chapels part in establishing/supporting new churches in USA.. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Hal, the Welsh Tract is around Philadelphia PA, towns like Merion, Berwyn and Ardmore and on and on were named for Wales (when it was fashionable *G*) Eliz Not Today and Not without a Fight (Anon) For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes. (Dag Hammarskjold) On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 2:13 PM, Hal McCawley <HalMac@cox.net> wrote: > Hello Down Under.
