Problem with the % of American population as Jones. Someone inputted the cumulative frequency (which summed for Jones, Smith, Williams etc) rather than JUST Jones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.89.109 ( talk) 15:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

24,000,000 million (24 trillion) Americans???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.185.144.123 ( talk) 14:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Many people believe that America was discovered by, and takes its name from, Amerigo Vespucci. However, this is unlikely as newly-discovered lands were normally named after their discoverer's surname. Therefore, had America been discovered by Vespucci, it would more likely have been called "Vespuccia" or something of that ilk. It is much more likely that America was named after a Welshman named Richard Amerike, whose surname was "derived from ap Meuric, Welsh for the son of Maurice".

Under languages, only "American English" is listed. Are there no Welsh-Americans who can speak their own mother tongue? -- MosheA ( talk) 02:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
[1] According to this, the surname is of English, not Welsh origin and is a common name in the whole British Isles. Saimdusan Talk| Contribs 07:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
The surnames listed in this article need disambiguating if they are to remain. -- billinghurst ( talk) 13:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Is there any evidence that Ab was of Welsh descent? This site indicates that he was of English descent only. [3] 216.107.194.166 ( talk) 19:03, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Ray Milland is listed as a Welsh American, but he was born in Wales and I can find nothing on his own page about him becoming an American citizen. Is there any information around about him becoming an American citizen, or has he been put here by mistake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.89.26.64 ( talk) 13:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Although with Wales being much smaller than Ireland and Scotland the amount of country and western singers with Welsh surnames overshadows those countries should this be remarked upon. For example Hank Williams, Don Williams, Ray Price, George Morgan, Tammy Wynette (her birth name was Pugh), George Jones, Lorrie Morgan, Sara Evans, Buck Owens, Margo Price, Gail Davies, Mac Davies, Lewis Family, Grandpa Jones, Gene Price, Hugh X Lewis, Keni Thomas, BJ Thomas, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Price, Nancy Griffith, Conway Twitty (Jenkins) (he was Lloyd Jenkins), Craig Morgan, Sarah Johns, Sammy Johns, Sara Evans. And there's some of the biggest legends of the lot in there. This looks more than just a random coincidence (and besides Tammy Wynette obviously omits females who got married before they made it)and all those who are of Welsh decent without an obviously Welsh name.
Surely this needs greater investigation/publicity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.98.80.38 ( talk) 20:44, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
