Geoff:
But bear in mind that the traditional Welsh-speaking areas of the
Principality are in the North and West. Most of South Wales has an
English-speaking background so Evans is Evans is Evans around there.
Again, as you say, it is spread well across the country. Good Evans,
I know several myself.....
Diolch yn fawr.
