This book combines linguistic and historical approaches with the
latest techniques of DNA analysis and show the insights these offer
for every kind of genealogical research. It focuses on British
names, tracing their origins to different parts of the British
Isles and Europe and revealing how names often remain concentrated
in the districts where they first became established centuries ago.
In the process the book casts fresh light on the ancient peopling
of the British Isles. The authors consider why some names die out,
and how others have spread across the globe. They use recent
advances in DNA testing to discover whether particular surnames
have a single, dual or multiple origins and whether various forms
of a name have a common origin. They show how information from DNA
can be combined with historical evidence and techniques to
distinguish between individuals with the same name and different
names with similar spellings and to identify the name of the same
individual or family spelt in various ways in different times and
places. Clearly written and illustrated with hundreds of examples,
this book will be welcomed by all those engaged in genealogical
research, including everyone seeking to discover the histories of
their names and families.
