Description
This is a fully revised and massively expanded new edition of Donald Whyte's bestselling book. Now expanded to include data on over 220 families, the book also includes sections on the development of surnames from earliest times, a reading list, and a helpful guide for the growing number of beginners in the pursuit of ancestry and family history. The original edition of the book sold out in both British and US editions and this new edition incorporates many of the advances in research made in recent years, rendering it more up to date than any competing work.
