What's your motivation to write your Welsh Family History?


What's your motivation to write your Welsh Family History?

[Pictured right: the Elm Street Welsh Congregational Chapel, the oldest standing religious structure in Youngstown, Ohio, once at the heart of Welsh American Settlements in America.]

Do any of these words sound familiar? Empty Nest, Baby Boomer Blues, Retirement, AARP, Obituaries, Eulogies, Caregiver, Alzheimer’s, Pensions, Social Security, Grandchildren?

Are you experiencing the lonely ‘culture shock’ of aging, retirement, sickness, chronic illness, unemployment, children growing up and leaving home ‘Empty Nest Syndrome’, Divorce, becoming a Widow/Widower, recently single, or relocating to another city?

Perhaps you have a mind filled with memories, and you realize that when you go, all the memories will go with you? What can you do now to pass this knowledge along to your heirs and posterity?

At Welsh American Family Genealogy, we believe there’s no better ‘Empty Nest’ activity than researching your Welsh family history and creating a legacy for future generations. You don’t have to be rich to leave behind an enduring heritage for your children and heirs.

What’s important is that you use the time wisely. If you would like to simulate your mind each day and stay young through constructive activities, than genealogy might be right for you!

Write to us and tell us your questions. We might not know the exact answer, but think of this as a daily adventure – thousands of other online readers will ‘pick their brains’ to help you!
