This 890-page volume, written in Spanish, is an essential reference tool for anybody interested in British immigration to Buenos Aires before 1852, the cut-off date for the book. The author has combed Buenos Aires Consular Registrations, the Anglican, Scots Presbyterian and Methodist Church records, burial records and Argentine probate records. She has also made excellent use of hard-to-access contemporary English-language newspapers in Buenos Aires including The British Packet and The Standard as well as early Spanish-language newspapers. The book is divided into sections which describe local British institutions, national festivities, the principal ships which took British passengers to Argentina and the residents themselves. The biographical section provides basic genealogical information on immigrants and their immediate families, but little on their British origins or links to other families in Argentina. It is to be commended that the author has been careful to include genealogical details only when she is certain that they are correct, though a number of tentative
links are discussed.

Pioneering in the Pampas
Author Richard Arthur Seymoor
ISBN 987-20506-6-X
Internet available http://stockcero.com/book.php?ISBN=987-20506-6-X.
Should the reader of this book expect a literary masterpiece, he is bound for disappointment. Richard Seymour was not a master writer. However, his love for detail and outstanding memory captivates with the educated and fluent prose of a nineteenth century Oxford scholar. Vivid descriptions make reading Pioneering in the Pampas a journey into the experience of everyday life at the Pampas Indian frontier during the mid eighteen hundreds.Through Richard Seymour’s narrative, the geography of the Pampas and the times before railroads and immigration waves acquire amazingly realistic characteristics. Soon enough the conquest of the desert by President Roca in 1880 would change the character of the place. Richard Seymour departed for England in1869 where –in the Rectory of Kinwarton, Warwickshire– he relived his experiences by writing this book.

This book traces the unique experiences of all the known Welsh Patagonians who came to start a better life in Australia.
One hundred and fifty-one Welsh Patagonians migrated to Australia between 1910 and 1916 - almost the same number as those on the "Mimosa" in 1865. A
magnet to a better life in Australia was the prospect of legal title to their own land. Largely migrating as groups, a 'Welsh settlement' was formed
along the Murrumbidgee River in New South Wales, and a second in the Moora-Miling area of Western Australia. Another large group of Patagonians
came to Darwin.Peta Roberts is a descendant of Walter Roberts (Ruthin) and Margaret Hopkins nee Davies (Llywnhendy/Bynea). Peta published a complete genealogical index in 1992 of the Welsh in Patagonian 1865-1900 after visiting and doing research in Chubut (births, deaths, marriages, ship lists, census etc).
The assistance given to her by Tegai Roberts was of course invaluable, as was as the hospitality of Martha Rees de Roberts of Plas y Coed, and of Uriena
Lewis de Rhys of Trelew. Dr Michele Langfield visited Patagonia in 1994, and is a historian at Deakin University in Melbourne. She has spoken at Welsh
conferences about this topic and has published widely in the fields of migration, multiculturalism, cultural heritage and identity. Together they
recorded oral histories with sixty-three descendants, and with genealogical information spanning generations, blended library and archival research from
four countries to provide a complete record of Welsh Patagonians in Australia. Maps, photographs and a familial relationship diagram linking all
the Australian Welsh Patagonians, is included.
