Alabama Welsh Association Croeso!

southerners know of their families Celtic ancestry if it is Irish or Scottish. However,
many are unaware that their family name is Welsh. Surnames such as: Adams, Allen,
Bowen, Brown, Cole, Davis, Edwards, Gibbs, Harris, James, Jones, Morgan, Lloyd,
Roberts, Owens, Price, Reece, Thomas, Wynn, and Williams had their origins in ancient
Wales. If you or someone you know is a descendant of Wales or if you have an interest in
"all things Welsh", we invite you to join us today!

The Alabama Welsh Association would like to add to the Celtic
legacy of the South and Alabama by bringing a Welsh presence
to the public. Alabama is home to an untold number of Welsh
descendants who are invited to make their voices heard. Most

The AWA needs
your support!
Come out and join us on March 20th in the St. Patrick's Day parade in
Birmingham, AL.
We will line up for the parade on Powell Ave. in Birmingham between 19th
St. South and 20th St South between 11 - 11 : 30 AM. The parade will start at
12 noon & end at Five Points South in the entertainment district. Use google
for a map if you are not familiar with the area.
Anyone wishing to march with us or drive a vehicle in the parade, all we ask
is that they keep things limited to a Welsh theme or of course green for St.
Patrick`s Day. Contact Billy Price at cscitizen@windstream.net to participate.
