Further to a comment in a recent r/wales post, here's a link to an app that allows bearers of a Welsh surname to see where in Wales their name is most common. A bit addictive.

  1. I love that my surname is mapped to exactly the area my ancestors lived.

  2. That’s fun. Interestingly my dad’s family name does match where the family started but my mum’s family name is at the wrong end of the country.

  3. Did mine and my partners and both mapped exactly from areas we grew up in
