That's very interesting. Wonder where they picked that up? The Celts were of course VERY well established all throughout Western and NW Europe and Britain by the time of Jesus. Could have migrated to America from any of those European countries, not just Britain or Wales (as their Chambers of Commerce would love for us to believe.)
