From experience, the first two as grandparents is a killer. But, with the help of such special people on this forum, nothing is impossible. Long may you all rule!!!!

A few years ago my cousins were living in Brisbane but I hadn't seen them since they emigrated to there many years ago

The most common Welsh surnames and their meaning, history and origin
Are you a Jones, Davies, or maybe a Morgan?

With so many Evanses, Joneses and Davieses in Wales - it's hardly surprising some people end up being named after their profession instead - Dai The Diver anyone?

But the history behind those common surnames make this country and its people truly unique.

With the help of the UK family history website, Findmypast, WalesOnline has taken a look at the meaning and history behind some of those names.
