Hello and welcome to RC.

Could we have a bit more information.
What is the surname of Daniel and Ann, plus approx ages or dates of birth for any of these people.

Where did they eventually settle in the US. Have you found them on any census?

Hi Mirambu and welcome,
                 There was a great deal of emigration from Wales to the USA at this time; have you got a place-name for the Morgans' origin - town, county or anything similar? It would be a great help in finding them.
                       Best of luck,
                                                Pinot

Hi Mirambu,
Welcome to rootschat.
Your ancestors probably first set foot on Ellis island may be worth checking this out.

Ellis Island wasn't opened until 1892-

If the family arrived at New York earlier see www.castlegarden.org for passenger lists. However, these early lists contain little detail- usually just name, sex, age, occupation, country of origin.

Reading through your initial post, Mirambu, I've not clear as to what you are looking for- is it tracing this family in America (census records, etc.) or do you need help finding details about them in Wales?

Is it information on the family that went to America you want to find now? or details about Daniel that stayed in Wales? or information on the whole family when they lived in Wales?
