Shw mae, Bore da, (from the N.) lol umm no Kucera is my married name. I am a Jones. A Llewellyn Jones. I think Kucera is some Bohemian name. Hey, were are they from? My husband would love to know. He is sure that ALL the Kuceras are directly related. lol My friend Brian in Penfro says the name Jones is NOT Welsh and that I have tainted blood. lol I am so glad you liked the vid. I miss all of the customs and can't wait for The Portland Eisteddfod. AWSOME Hwyl, Cerri
