A guide to the surnames that offers an insight into the place of origin, the occupations - and even the personality traits - of our ancestors. It is suitable for those intrigued by the story of their name and by the history of their family.

Focusing on the challenges of historical record-keeping, this guide addresses the common issues of surname mis-spellings and changes during a time when literacy was low. It serves as a valuable resource for family historians, offering insights into navigating these complexities and enhancing research accuracy.

Featuring cartoon-like illustrations that aim to capture the warmth and humour of the East Midlands, this work is a celebration of the dialect spoken in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and South Staffordshire. schovat popis
