Welsh Language help please translation.

[newbie]

Hi I need some help please, I'm confused!

I need to translate some words from English to Welsh, I've used this site but, the amount of names that I can use are many, which would be the most common/likely?

http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Welsh

just translating the word family there are about 12 possibilities.

I need to know -
Mother, Father, House, Family, Grandmother, Grandfather, Son, Daughter, Buried, Died, Born,
England, Wales,  Village, Town, Coal Hewer, Miner, and any other "family history" terms you can think of !
I'm in the middle of an art project, making a "family history book"  and I thought I'd use calligraphy on some of the pages and foolishly thought it might be interesting to use both English and Welsh!!!

Many thanks,
Pauline

Hi Gadget, many thanks for the link.
Yes it is very helpful  I've found most that I needed, but I also really wanted to know what the most commonest use of the names were.
For example in the Counties section of the link you sent, there are two suggestions for some counties,  which is most commonly used?
That applies to many other things too!! I suppose in the scheme of things it won't matter which I use in my book will it!

thanks,
Pauline.

Hi Pauline

I've always used the Sir <name> for counties except for Anglesey which , to me, is Ynys Mon.

Also, North Wales - Nain and Taid  South Wales Mam-gu and Tad-cu

Are your family from the North or the South?

Hope this helps you, but to get the correct grammer and such you have to know the mutations in the language which is quite convoluted. EG Wales can be Cymru, Gymru, Chymru, Nghymru.

Good luck I am very rusty but will be glad to help you if I can.
