Because of the link with coalmining, I would suggest Pennsylvania.

I agree with shady - many towns around Philly have Welsh names...but there is more coal mining in West Virginia.

Pennsylvania has by far the most Welsh-American societies, followed by New York and Wisconsin.

Pennsylvania is the answer I gave,as my good friend Bryce told me long ago there were lots of Welsh place names around Philadelphia.Imagine my surprise when I was told the answer was OHIO with 20 per cent Welsh heritage.Can anybody verify Ohio as the right answer?
