The proper reference is "Plaid Cymru" which translates to "Welsh Party". Unfortunately, Plaid Cymru is strongly tied to labor and socialists. Nearly every item in their party platform ends with the statement "based on socialist principles". A Welsh language group participant once indicated a desire to help economic development in Wales. Said participant asked if their was anyway to assist without buying in to the "socialist" principles. The collective answer was no. I'm so grateful that my relatives left Wales for America in 1863. I regret that they did not maintain Welsh and English languages within the family, but the choice to go English only ensured that the family would prosper in the U.S. We have. Engineers. Farmers. Teachers. Military officers. Happy Fourth of July!
Myrddin, maybe your ancestors knew mine. They came here about the same time as yours, maybe a few years earlier. Small world.
