A second hand book, but in as new condition.

Are all families with the same name related? Why do the Smiths rule England? What have the Robinsons got that the Cholomondleys haven’t? And what exactly were the Walkers and Tuckers doing together in the fourteenth century?

Our surnames are information-packed pieces of living history. THE BOOK OF SURNAMES traces all our most popular names back to their origins, turning up a fascinating and funny horde of facts and figures on the way to the roots of our biggest family trees. At last with this book you can find out who your ancestors are, what they did, when, and where.

(hundreds more variants are included as well)
