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.
