Emigration Index (General)

I have several relatives in the US with identical DNA to mine whose surname is Lewis, though mine is Morgan. A great example of the Welsh patronymic system affecting those in the Forest of Welsh heritage (ranging from about 5% in the early 16th century to about 25% at their peak in the 19th century). The problem lies in determining whether the Lewises emigrated to America from Wales when my ancestors were still living there or later when they lived in the Forest? I have no data on this. If a connection between the living Lewises in the US and a living Lewis Forest family could be established this would be of significant genealogical interest to me.
