        Yes.  I don't know who orginally wrote this (below), but it is
somewhat mangled.   The groups in question were moved from places in Britain
to North Wales and Devon, not direct from Germania. The North Welsh
migration is the one I referred to earlier that might have resulted in a
counting system originally from Northern Britain becoming established in
Wales.
