If you are waging war with your pre-1500 Welsh ancestors, as I have been recently, may I suggest a really interesting website: Ancient Wales Studies. The site offers an extensive series of articles researched by Darrell Wolcott on the Welsh prior to 1500.It is based in Texas. Numerous articles are listed in the left-land column of the page. For others, you may need to search through the notes of an article to find additional articles on that subject -then Google it. Articles are well-documented. If you aren't familiar with ancient Welsh history, you may have to read through an article a couple of times to get a grasp on things. You see, the early Welsh had the habit of repeating given names, as well as having the stumbling block of patronymic surnames. Those were also repetitive. Of course none of us have ancestral families that fell victim to repetitive given names!*
If you are researching Welsh ancestors give this site a try! http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org
