I have to say I have not been thoroughly following this thread, but: "Second Stages in Researching Welsh History" edited by John & Sheila Rowlands is now out of print, but second-hand copies are still available. I have at home an earlier book, which is titled "The Surnames of Wales," John & Sheila Rowlands, published by the Federation of Family History Societies 1996, which is an excellent surname book, showing the distribution of surnames throughout the various counties of Wales and also giving the derivation of such surnames. It is still available through Amazon and no doubt other second-hand distributors. Best wishes Graham Melbourne Oz

Amazon.uk has them from 3.45 pounds, quite reasonable I think.
