Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surname Book and Racial History The students of the Genealogical Society of Utah and of the Relief Society have been greatly in need of a reference book from which to prepare lessons in the study of Surnames. Two years ago the General Board of the Relief Society prepared a year's course in the study of Surnames, expecting to use Baring-Gould's "Story of Family Names" as a text book. We soon exhausted the edition and no other surname book was on the market. A number have been printed, but all are now out of print, so far as is known. As a consequence, this book has been prepared by appointment through the General Board of the Relief Society, and will serve, it is hoped, as a fairly complete reference and text book for our students and friends. No originality is claimed for the work from the general line of books thus far published, unless the choice of extracts and the arrangement of the chapters may prove somewhat unusual. The surname books heretofore published presupposed on the part of the student familiar acquaintance with history and philology; while most of them are purely technical. Our aim has been to begin our study with some acquaintance with the brief racial and historical information required by the ordinary student, who takes up his genealogical studies in the subject of the evolution of surnames as we know them today. Especially do we inquire into tribal and racial beginnings. The matter given concerning Hindu pedigrees and name customs first appears here, and will both enlighten and interest students of surname beginnings. Quotations are freely made in these pages from the historians who have prepared material for the Encyclopedia Britannica, from Myers, Fisher, McCabe, Green, Freeman and Macaulay. Copious extracts are taken from Lower, Yonge, Guppy, Bardsley and S. Baring-Gould, also from Professor O. J. P. Widtsoe's "Introduction to the Study of English Surnames," which was published in the Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine. Credit may not always be attached to each little extract, but we hereby acknowledge our indebtedness to all of these noted authorities. The inevitable religious trend which is given to all statements and studies by the Latter-day Saints, whenever stating facts or conclusions, necessarily colors this compilation and arrangement of surname studies.

Download or read book Surnames DNA and Family History written by George Redmonds and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines linguistic and historical approaches with the latest techniques of DNA analysis and shows the insights these offer for every kind of genealogical research. It focuses on British names, tracing their origins to different parts of the British Isles and Europe and revealing how names often remain concentrated in the districts where they first became established centuries ago. In the process the book casts fresh light on the ancient peopling of the British Isles. The authors consider why some names die out while others spread across the globe. They use recent advances in DNA testing to investigate whether particular surnames have single, dual, or multiple origins, and to find out if the various forms of a single name have a common origin. They show how information from DNA can be combined with historical evidence and techniques to distinguish between individuals with the same name and different names with similar spellings, and to identifty the name of the same individual or family spelt in various ways in different times and places. The final chapter of this paperback edition, looking at the use of genetics in historical research, has been updated to include new work on the DNA of Richard III.
