Beskrivelse af Surnames as a Science
Surnames as a Science by Robert Ferguson is a comprehensive exploration of the origins and meanings of surnames. The book delves into the history of surnames and how they have evolved over time, as well as the various cultural and linguistic influences that have shaped them. The author also examines the role of genetics in surname research, including the use of DNA testing to trace family histories. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in genealogy, linguistics, or cultural history, and offers a unique perspective on the importance of surnames in our modern world. Overall, Surnames as a Science is an engaging and informative book that sheds new light on an often-overlooked aspect of our personal identities.1884. That portion of our surnames which dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, and so forms a part of the general system by which Teutonic names are governed, is distinctly a branch of a science, and such as has been treated by the Germans, upon whose lines Ferguson generally followed. It is part of the author's object to show that this portion of our surnames is a very much larger one than has been generally supposed, and that it includes a very great number of names which have been otherwise accounted for, as well as of course a great number for which no explanation has been forthcoming.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
