Readers Comments - Geiriau gan yr darllenwyr! Welsh expats in Australia I'm starting to put together plans for our coverage of the Ashes in Cardiff next month and I am keen to hear from Welsh expats from around the world about what they will be doing to watch it. I'd also love to hear from anyone who may have emigrated from Wales to Australia, or who may be from Australia with family in Wales. Basically I am looking for anyone from around the world who has a good story to tell that may be good for our newspaper and website. Would you be able to put a message out to your members in your weekly email and ask for them to get in touch with me? Many thanks for your help, Tim Lewis Reporter Media Wales Western Mail, Wales on Sunday, South Wales Echo and www.walesonline.co.uk Cardiff CF10 1XR Tel. 029 2024 3623 Japanese Welsh Thank you very much for sending me Wales Worldwide. It is fantastic to know for me how people Welsh is actively expanding their influences of Welsh Spirit and heart all over the world. It is not only the case of Welsh people, even Japanese who used to live in Wales for spending their time during their job in Wales and sometime with their family. So many children graduated local school and used to learn Japanese language in their Saturday School in WWhitchurch in South Wales. These Japanese has very pro-Wales and loves Wales as their 2nd home country. We Japan has the Clwb Hiraeth which is composed of people who used to work in Wales and has really Welsh heart. Sir Howard is honoury member, Mr Nakamura, EX vice president Sony, Mr Murayama, President Kansai Airport and Mr Kaminaga, President Sumitomo Precision are the member of club. It is just for your information, we have certain Welsh network (St. David's Society, Welsh Language study and The Clwb Hiraeth). Kind regards Tiger Nakajima Quakers My Welsh ancestor, Davis Smith, was born into a Welsh Quaker congregation which immigrated to the Altoona, PA area in 1812. I understand that the records of that immigration are in the Sharples Library at Swarthmore College. I lived in Swarthmore in the 1960s, but had not yet become interested in Welsh history so I never looked up that information at the library. Family lore says that he worked on the railroad that carried canal boats across the mountains. That was the Allegheny Portage railroad, which opened in 1834 and is now a National Historical Site Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service) I no longer live in Swarthmore and have no easy access to the Sharples Library. Has anybody looked into that resource, and can tell me more about that migration? Just incidentally, Quakers, many of whom were Welsh, were a major factor in the settlement of the Philadelphia area. This is evidenced by the fact that so many of the Philadelphia suburbs have Welsh names (Bryn Mawr, Bala Cynwyd, Llanerch, etc). Pennsylvania was chartered in 1681, and the first proposed name was New Wales. This is really surprising, because Penn was English and had estates in Ireland, Eventually Penn attracted other persecuted minorities including Huguenots, Mennonites, Amish, Catholics, Lutherans, and Jews from England, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, and Wales. Essentially all the 17th century settlers of America were religious refugees. That was especially true of the Welsh, because Wales was a hotbed of Quakerism, which was persecuted by the British Crown.

I suppose most of us do even though some may only sip a lemonade. With all the stresses and concerns of modern day life thank Goodness Wales still possesses little havens of tranquility. There are still pubs in Wales where no cars whizz by, no traffic noise and one can escape for an hour in another world. Most public houses in the U.K, especially in villages, have a church adjacent or very nearbye. I visited one such pub in Wales where all the ingredients of 'escapism' were present. Rural views, an ancient church adjacent, no traffic racing back and fore, a rustic interior, a good pint, lovely food and friendly people. Enjoy the pub and church in this short two minute video and see why an hour there can slow you down and put life into perspective.(And the beer aint that bad either!!) Just for an hour the world didn't seem to be such an hectic place...............

This program will be held on July 11, 2009, at the College Hill Library, 3705 W. 112th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado. The program is from 3:00 to 4:45 PM. Paul and Carol Lightsey will present this program on The advent of coal mining in Colorado began concurrently with the gold rush of 1858-59 that essentially started the European migration into Colorado. By 1870, coal mining was flourishing and the primary economic product of Boulder and Weld counties. By 1900, nearly 2000 Welsh had moved to Colorado; some directly from Wales, but many emigrating first to the coal fields of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania first. This presentation will describe the early history of the role of Welsh coal miners in Colorado and the "Lewis Home - Miner's Museum" in Lafayette, Colorado. This program is free and open to the public. After the program please join members of the Colorado Welsh Society at the Exchange Tavern, 11940 Bradburn Blvd. for dinner, drinks and socializing. Bradburn is a short street running south of 120th Avenue just west of Lowell Street. For more information contact Sam Kuntz, President, Colorado Welsh Society, 303.886.0632 or sam.kuntz@comcast.net.

For additional information concerning the Library and its resources visit our website: Cyril Evans Swyddog Hyrwyddo Communications Officer Dylan Thomas in Sydney Lovers of Dylan Thomas in Sydney will enjoy a special day on Sunday 14 June when they board a modern charabanc for the daytrip to Swansea (NSW) and back, reliving the famous story of The Outing. We won't try to re-create the story in its entirety - no-one will get drunk or break glasses and we will reach our destination at the seaside. We regret that primus stoves will not be allowed on our charabanc, but we will have wonderful DVDs of Dylan to show along the way and perfect locations for dining, sipping a convivial drink and basking in Dylan's descriptions of seashores and seabirds. There will be readings in caves and on rock platforms and beaches reminiscent of Worm's Head and Rhossili. You won't need a bow tie, but please don't leave your false teeth at home like Mr Weazley!
