My great-great-great-grandfather's family name was Vaughan (a Welsh name) though he was born in Ireland. How long the family lived there is anyone's guess since I can't find any records of when they left Wales. The name Vaughan has survived in the family as a first name for five generations now. Since Derek lives in Wales he would be the obvious person to ask about all things Welsh.

I am a Powell on my mother's side. I always thought that was English, but I recently learned that's more like Welsh, from "ap Howell," or "son of Howell." I'll go with that.

Aye,
One for sure Welsh line - Bowen
One very probably Welsh line, still being researched, could be Scot too - Lewis.

From my Dad's side of the family, my Great-Granddad was born in Wales (no one know where though?).
