Summary: Delightful Resource to MY Clan, District, and Family Surames
Comment: When this book arrived in the mail last week, I took to it like a kid from yesteryear when the new Sears Christmas Catalog would arrive before Thanksgiving - - (like sugarplums, etc.)
I found my Dad's family name was from the Paisley District, plus my husband's English name showed up with an O'. Fun to learn that the "Mac, Mc, and M'" all meant the same; "son of"!! Plus, the North American pronouncement of these prefixes is "Mik". Haven't yet learned where the "O'" represents.
A quick glance through the book tells the reader instantly that this research has been a loving and diligent work-in-progress. The price is so reasonable that I'm giving thought to tucking a copy in a few Christmas stockings this year!
Next to my photo album hobby, this search for family tartan plaids, etc. etc. is my newest and exciting adventure. (A lady in our town has years of weaving experience, and we've used THIS BOOK to get us started on her weaving project of my family's plaid!) What a hoot!
