What’s in a Name?
John Moss, 21st June 2019

For better or worse, what we are is often determined by our family – we are the inexorable product of family history. This book is a snapshot of several hundred such family names, delving into their beginnings and derivations, making extensive use of old sources, including translations of The Domesday Book and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, as well as tracing many through the centuries to the present day.
