Wales Look-ups

My wife was a Jones (oh no!, not one of those I hear you say). She is now a Hughes, can it get any worse for looking up Welsh ancestors. Erm actually it can because she is descended from a very long line of Williams.

That's wonderful that you are willing to help others.
Question?
My Ambrose Williams was born in Wales and came to America about 1745. Where do I start in Wales as I am unable to find a ships record or his POE.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Clydene
Hi Clydene the majority of North Wales emmigrants left the UK on ships out from Liverpool. T he link below is probably by far the most comprehensive list of ships that left the UK many include the passenger lists.

Happy New Year to you and all members reading this message.
I think its great your helping others find their roots. I have recently become interested in finding out my family's history. My Surname is Hughes and all I know is that my great granfather came over to Canada from Wales when he was just a boy (he was a original homeboy) and he beleived he had a sister but was unsure. I have no clue where to even start.
Hi Dragonwolfe, haven't been in here for a while due to comp crash and being very busy. If you have your grandfather's first name/s, and/or d.o.b., place of birth or last known place of residence in Wales (with approximate date), occupation then any of these details may help a researcher to do a search for you or point you in the right direction.
