Hi,

You could search the outgoing uk passenger lists, but  beware that any Welsh passengers will not be listed as being Welsh before 1907, they will be listed under English (up until 1906/7 the passenger lists didn't make any provisions for the Welsh nationality. so you will not get a full list of every welsh person who travelled there .

Are you looking for a particular individual , or  do you want every Welsh name that went there? If you want every Welsh person who went there, I think it maybe a bit of an impossible task

Here is one list which may help you  http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Welsh_Emigrants_to_Patagonia_1890-1914

some  reading from the NA  http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Welsh_Colony_in_Patagonia

Hope that helps
Kind Regards

the welsh association in trelew, patagonia, where most welsh people settled there, may be able to help
 Asociacion Galesa De Trelew Cylch Cymraeg TrelewPerito Moreno 253, 9102 Trelew, Chubut, Argentina(0)2965 432 312‎. I'm sure they can help in either Welsh or English, if Spanish is needed, I can help
