"...The surname (in Wales) is in many cases no clue to the stock from whence the family derived. A much surer method by which the paternal stock can be determined is to ascertain the coat of arms that the family has borne, even though it may be unrecognized by the Heralds' College.'" An alphabetically arranged collection of thumbnail sketches gives biographical and historical data, some of which date from as early as 350 A.D., during the days of the Roman Empire. The information includes where they lived or what territory they ruled, as well as many of the legends associated with King Arthur, magicians, saints, warriors, and more. A comprehensive bibliography provides researchers of Welsh genealogy with the resource information they need to begin their own investigations.
