How to order this book
Defining
the meanings
and derivations, as well as giving associated names, for over 2,000
surnames, Stufflebeem,
Brockway & Sturt answers that perennial question, 'What's in a
name?'
A
good deal of
intriguing information about our ancestors, in fact: where people
lived,
or where they hailed from, what they looked like, their jobs,
nicknames,
morals, personal habits, and even important events in their lives. Here
too are the origins of such revered American names as Roosevelt and
Rockefeller,
as well as surnames which, while they may have originated in Britain,
Ireland
or elsewhere, have become commonplace, sometimes in adapted versions,
in
the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Packed
with information
that goes back to Saxon times, or to the days of Celtic chieftains and
Norman knights, Stufflebeem, Brockway & Sturt is at once a
delightful
journey through our shared history, and a highly readable work of ready
reference.
