    3. Rachel, "Calvinists Incorporated" contains a very comprehensive bibliography, as well as the many notes to each chapter. Within the bibliography are sections entitled "Other Print Sources" and "Non-Print Sources" -- the latter includes specific persons who provided details about their families, either in the form of interviews or with genealogical assistance and help locating emigrant farms in Wales. The former includes family genealogies which, in most cases, have not been published en mass but have been deposited at their local library. In her introduction, Ms. Knowles states, "I have used a variety of statistical and qualitative sources for this multiscaled, trans-Atlantic study. The main core of information, however, is a database of individual immigrant biographies drawn from obituaries, community and chapel histories from Wales and the United States, field research, a wealth of family histories generously provided by American genealogists and Welsh local historians, charcoal iron furnace company records, and governmental sources such as the U.S. and British censuses, the Tithe Survey, and land records." Before contacting Ms. Knowles, I would suggest thoroughly scouring the sources listed to see which source may apply to your particular family. It has been my experience that one can write to the author in care of the publisher, in this case it is: University of Chicago Press 11030 S.
