Hi I am trying to find my Thomas family in Wales. We know most of the information about them after they came to the US, however we have been unable to find out exactly when they came and who stayed behind in Wales. The mother either remarried prior to the immigration or after; so I would like to know how to begin my search in Wales for our Thomas family. This much I know, they left from Liverpool to New York between 1841-1851. Either my ancestor was 7 when he sailed with his mother, step-father PEAS, brother and sister(which is the most common story) and was born in York. OR My ancestor was born in New York after his father, mother and some siblings came over prior to 1844. 1844 seems to be the year my ancestor was born, but we haven't found any birth documentation yet. There are several Thomas families in New York census' at the right time with a Joseph Thomas that was the correct age, but they all list him being born in New York. Joseph Thomas told his grand-daughter (who is still alive) that he was born in York and about the trip over on the ship when he was only 7. Any ideas, links or information would be greatly appreciated. Sharon
