The author cites the year 1000 as \"the proximate date for the assumption of family names\" and credits this assumption of surnames by England with being an \"importation of the Norman Conquest.\" Arranged alphabetically, entries include the etymology of each name, its history and origin and whenever possible, the \"epoch at which it first appears in our records.\" Cross-references to spelling variations are included. Introductory articles discuss \"surname literature;\" surnames in America; Scottish, Welsh and Irish surnames; and the classification and corruption of surnames. The author has written: \"My design throughout has been chiefly etymological—using that word in its most popular, and least technical sense. I wish to convey to the inquirer information as to the immediate origin of each particular surname.\" He shows how surnames have been derived from one's own landed possessions; from trades, occupations and offices; from characteristics of mind and body; from baptismal or personal names; from the animal and vegetable kingdoms; from social relations; from times and seasons; from oaths and exclamations; from the naturalization of foreign surnames; and more.

The \"Notes\" series contains some pedigrees, but the bulk of the material in these volumes consists of documents, abstracts and other supporting material.These Visitations are not to be confused with those of earlier centuries which were often erroneous.

This book was designed for people who want to learn more of their Scottish family history, but have been confused or intimidated by other instruction manuals; the author allows you to work more efficiently and accomplish more. The work is divided into five sections which lead the researcher along a logical, step-by-step research path. The first section presents the author's system for beginning family research: sketching a family tree using your present knowledge, then adding personal biographies, labeled photographs and any other memorabilia. An interview questionnaire is included to help the reader gain the most from interviews with family members. The second section describes how to prepare for further research, providing the reader with an overview of libraries overseas and in the U.S. In addition, the author describes how to acquire the background knowledge of Scottish history and geography necessary for accurate interpretation of records. The third part describes the New Register House in Scotland, which contains parish registers, census returns and civil registrations; this section also includes a helpful trouble-shooting guide. The fourth section guides the reader to four additional source groups: public record offices in Great Britain, libraries in Great Britain and North America, the Church of Latter-day Saints and private sources. An informative research outline provides the reader with an alphabetical listing of types of information and records. The fifth section of the book touches upon final techniques to use once the above research has been completed. Finally, a subject index makes all the information readily accessible. In the words of Baytown Genealogical Society, this book presents \"exact instructions for obtaining the most information in the shortest period of time for the least money.\" The Genealogist called the book \"Interesting and informative…very useable…[with] plenty of practical suggestions.\" As its popularity with readers and reviewers will attest, this book is not to be missed by anyone with an interest in Scottish roots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouglas Bruce Goldie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1992), 2014, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 124 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781556135972\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-G0597\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39313703567478,"sku":"101-G0597","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-g0597.png?v=1727738256"},{"product_id":"101-d0561","title":"The Border or Riding Clans Followed by a History of the Clan Dixon and a Brief Account of the Family of the Author","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis colorful book discusses the region known as \"the Borders,\" where England and Scotland meet.

Included are such interesting items as a 1547 list of Borderers and Border Clans who had taken the oath of fealty to the English government, a partial roll of the year 1587 from records of the Scottish privy council, the roll of the names of landed proprietors over the whole of Scotland in 1590, \"The Names of the principall Clannes and Surnames of the Borders, not landed, and Chiefe Men of Name amongst them [in 1597]\" and \"The Names of the Barons, Lairds and chiefe Gentlemen in every Sherifdome [1597].\" A few of the famous Scots mentioned here are Sir Walter Scott, Rob Roy MacGregor and Mary Queen of Scots. Cultural and religious conflicts are discussed briefly, as well as the problems of cattle thieving (prevalent in the Borders and known as reiving), taxation, traitors and false coiners.

It is a compilation of the recollections of the elder Maclean, who was known as the \"Inverness Centenarian.\" John Maclean lived from about 1747 to 1852, and this book was originally issued in 1848. It is not intended as a rigorous and thorough historical work, but as a collection of stories of local interest \"whose merit, if they possess any, is, that they contain historical facts, traits of character, and traditional tales of stirring times and of important personages which have not been presented by any other author.\" These stories paint a picture of a Scotland in the 1600s and 1700s in which might and ruthlessness abounded. Those wishing to purchase land \"effected the sale by the claymore…and held possession by wielding, as frequently as occasion required, and with as much power as they could muster, the weapon by the use of which they came into possession.\" In addition to sword-wielding chiefs and lairds, the reader learns of women like the fearsome Mrs. Mackintosh, \"whose absence was considered good company\" by the terrified local inhabitants. It was she who engineered the murder of Provost Junor of Inverness in retaliation for his reproving her for her \"rude and indelicate demeanor.\" (Subsequently a second murder occurred, of a Mackintosh family servant girl who spoke unguardedly of her knowledge of the plotters of the first murder.) There are accounts of smugglers, thieves and outlaws hanged by the neck and then hung in a cage as a warning to others. The first and longest chapter details the 150-year period during which the Clan Mackintosh possessed the property of Borlum, from 1610 to 1760. The second chapter concerns Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, who lived from about 1676 until his beheading in 1747. Chapter 3 concerns Lord President Forbes, who sailed into Inverness in \"the largest vessel that ever entered the river.\" Subsequent chapters describe Sir George Mackenzie of Rosbaugh, The Family of Chisholm, The Mackenzies of Redcastle, The Black Watch (or 42nd Royal Highlanders), Donald Gruimach, The Black Isle Cattle-Lifter, and Highland Robbers and Cattle Lifters.

Persons that joined a particular clan, regardless of descent, assumed the surname of the chief as an act of loyalty. There are distinctions between Highland and Lowland surnames. Highland surnames are usually patronymic with various prefixes and additions such as Mackenzie and Robertson, but there are also surnames derived from localities, peculiarities, armorial bearings and offices. Lowland surnames show Norman influence, and are generally local, but many surnames are derived from baptismal names, peculiarities, armorial bearings, office, occupation and trade.

Thomas is believed with some certainty to have been christened at Birchden, Withyham, East Sussex, on July 14, 1630, as the son of Edward Stonstrete. He was transported to America as servant to William Waters and married a fellow servant, Elizabeth Butler, c.1688. By 1668\/9, he had received a land grant from Charles Calvert of a 150-acre tobacco plantation in St. Mary's (now Charles) County, which he named Birchden after his English birthplace. He would acquire a great deal more land over the ensuing years conveying Birchden to his eldest son Thomas, and living out his days on a second plantation known as Morris' Help. He died c.1706, having fathered four children, and his will and estate inventory have survived to this day. Thomas Stonestreet's descendants are traced down through the male lines of his two sons, Edward (born c.1673) and Thomas (born c.1682). Each descendant has been assigned an individual reference number and the last recorded descendants bring the family up to the 1850s. This genealogy is enhanced by a series of entries copied from the Bishop's transcripts from Withyham, Sussex, and the parish register of East Grinsted, Sussex, noting Stonstreet births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths, as well as Sussex probates and assizes.

It further provides statistics of real property, notices of public works, public buildings, churches, schools, etc. The natural history and historical incidents connected with particular localities have also been included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRev.
