Oh - I've found this link - it tells all about Elvis and his connection with Wales, here is the text :
Elvis was Welsh! Oh yes! Did you not know? He didn't either, most probably.
The name Presley is thought to have derived from Preseli, the Pembrokeshire hill range. What's more, St Elvis of Muster is said to have baptised St David, and there's a chapel in West Wales dedicated to St Elvis.
Want more evidence? OK. Elvis (the singer, not the saint) had a twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, who died at birth. Garon is a Welsh name, as is Gladys, the name of Elvis' mother. So, if Elvis was Welsh, that makes rock 'n' roll Welsh too. Hurrah!

Did you hear about Elvis's Teddy bear being attacked and savaged by the dog that was supposed to be guarding it just last night? Loads more of his bears were harmed in the assault as well. That was in Wales also by the way...
