Well actually my WELCH line is from Rugeley Staffordshire and they were
there at least from the 1600s to the 1800s. I am curious if that is true
that their origin is Wales and wonder where it would be or have you delved
into that. My 2x great grandmother was Ann WELCH (daughter of William
WELCH and Sarah CHEATLE). Do you DNA show something that leads you to
think Wales? Just curious and thank you.
