The Welsh of Harpers Ferry
It all started with an unnerving solution to the painful British rule which weighed heavily upon the family of Patrick and Honora Walsh. This solution was to leave their beloved homeland behind for a chance at a better life in America. Oh, Ireland, how we shall forever long for thee.
This almost forgotten family made many important contributions to the Harpers Ferry area and its history. This website is a compilation of their stories -- and that of their descendants. Within these pages you will find not only genealogical research, but also be able to look back into time through the eyes of our ancestors.
