Too few Welsh?
I've run in to a situation where I do have a Welsh ancestor,
but know, probably, too little about him to have any chance
of tracing him. Pretty much just name and emigration date.
And the name is George Dixon, which only narrows it to several
(ok, I also have an idea of when he was born) men.

am not sure about too few Welsh !! I think it has become an embarassment
in the UK to talk about ones nationality !!
But with a name like George Dixon you will have far less colateral problems
than I with a name that has for three hundred years been common.
If you stand in the Capital (Cardiff) and shout my name - half the
population will turn around to see who is calling them, and the other half
will turn around to see who is calling their husband !!
I have a number of Welsh genealogy sites if this search is so new that you
have not yet started !!!

I thought with devolution (I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, so
don't hear the UK news much) it had become ok to think about nationality
again. And even to speak Welsh again, vs. some centuries of supression.

:-) Over here Robert has been ones of the most common names for 2-3
centuries, and on the UK side of my family, another 2-3. Fortunately my
crowd favors uncommon family names. If stuck with a common last name,
usually an uncommon first name. Ok, there's a John White. But
he's recent enough that I knew his daughter.

Perhaps you could post them here? At least that'd be some on-topic content.
Or you can email me directly. The above address is valid.
Anyhow, having 6 (iirc) candidate George Dixons is 3-5 more candidates
than I usually have to deal with. I've gotten lazy, perhaps.
