Not speaker, neither learner, but I have a lot of family in Wales (mostly all father side family). It is more ten years I didn't see them, I am very bad to keep contact with people.
That's cool about your family connection though! I have mostly Scottish-Irish background through my father's side but some of the family names further back in the tree are traditionally Welsh, so I have wanted to learn a Celtic language for a long time, and Welsh seems to have the most resources/most vibrant community of speakers.
