5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting work on English surnames.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Surnames and Genealogy: A New Approach (Paperback)
In Surnames and Genealogy: A New Approach, many readers will recognize the development of ideas that Dr. Redmonds - a leading authority on English surname origins, local history, and place names - has presented in seminars over the past decade. As Dr. Ralph J. Crandall notes in his foreword, the fundamental lesson of Dr. Redmonds's work is that each surname is unique, beginning with one person or family at a particular time and a particular place. Thus dictionaries of surnames may mislead when they provide a single origin as the explanation for a surname. The book's explanation of the ways in which surnames changed over time should aid American genealogical researchers in determining likely variants of surnames in their own ancestry (and variants to check in indexes).
