February/Chwefror
The Welsh word for February is Chwefror. Anyone interested in learning the correct pronunciation ( or indeed in learning the Welsh language itself ) will find a multitude of excellent sites online to assist them with this. Some of these are listed on our homepage which can be found here.
The Easy Way to Learn Welsh History
If you were born Welsh or are of Welsh descent then there is something to celebrate ( or comemmorate ) every day of the year. If you are looking to learn Welsh history one day at a time or just looking for an excuse to raise a glass and celebrate on any particular day this section is for you. You will also find the birthdates of many famous Americans of Welsh descent on these pages. Though these pages are intended as a serious resource some of my co-contributors have a sense of humor. Consequently there are a few 'joke' items spread amongst the vast bulk of factual daily entries. We dont think you'll have too much trouble spotting them.
We will also be including the dates of many Welsh and American Welsh festivals, sporting events etc. Bookmark the Calendar for your daily dose of Welsh history ( and occasional nonsense )!

Abraham Lincoln was NOT of Welsh descent. The article linking his mother to Wales was written in the Druid in the 1920s without any documentation to back it up. Lincoln's mother was illegitimate and their is no record of her actual parents. Moreover Lincoln himself did not consider himself Welsh.
