Throughout the years, Jan Jones Batty has extensively researched her Welsh roots. She has discovered a number of research tips unique to the Welsh genealogy experience. During this session, we will follow Jan’s guidance and, afterward, share our own tips for discovering our Welsh heritage and learning more about our ancestors. There will be no whining about an excess of William Joneses (Jan has cornered the market on that) and no discussion of DNA testing.

(Yes! Joneses on both sides!)

At the national level, she serves as Secretary of the Welsh North American Association and Editor of its newsletter, HWYL.
