Patronymics: Naming conventions in early 19th century Wales

I have recently found myself at the edge of my research in the United States. The latest ancestor that I have been researching emigrated from Wales in the mid-1800's. I came across this article and felt that others might also be interested in naming and how it relates to genealogy. So if your family came from Wales or another Scandinavian country, give this article a read.
