Since about 1991 I have been working on a book, "Brothers and Sisters in a New Land: Welsh Immigrants and Their Descendants in Western New York." Especially the book focuses on the Cattaraugus-Allegany-Wyoming County Welsh settlement which had its center at Freedom, New York. The area was often referred to as the "Cattaraugus Welsh Settlement".

Anyone out there descended from western New York Welsh immigrants? I am interested in seeing your photos, artifacts, Welsh language Bibles and books. Please look in your attics, closets, garages. Contact me if you have something of interest.
