I can read and speak just a little Welsh. 3 of my four grandparents were first generation Welsh-American. My mother's maiden name was Mwr (Moore). My grandmother on my father's side's maiden name was Powys (Powers).

My Great-great grandfather came to the US as a boy in 1860. When I was a tot, he used to hold me on his lap and sing "Men of Harlech" in Welsh. Couldn't understand a word but I clapped and cheered just the same.
