The Caudills are one of America s largest and most historically
interesting families. Originating in the South in the early 1700s,
they have today spread out across nearly all fifty states, playing
a vital role in the settling of America, from Appalachia to the
Pacific Ocean. In his book The Caudills, the author, award-winning
Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook - a Caudill descendant
himself - has penned a thoroughly captivating work, one that
focuses on the etymology of the Caudill surname, the ethnology of
the Caudills, and the genealogy of their ancestral line, dating
back to 16th-Century Europe. Throughout its well researched
300-pages, one will find a treasure-trove of information, including
a detailed discussion of the origins of the name and family, an
extensive Caudill family tree, the Caudill family Coat of Arms, a
list of Caudill researchers, useful Websites, and maps to Cawdor
Castle in Scotland, with extra material on surname spelling
variations and Caudill place-names. Foreword is by Delmerene
Caudill of Letcher County, Kentucky. This is an important and
unique book that everyone with an interest in the Caudills will be
proud to have in their library. With its wealth of helpful research
data on not only this intriguing European-American family, but on
allied families as well, The Caudills is a must-have for all family
members, friends, and researchers. Lochlainn Seabrook is the winner
