1 comments about The Celtic Book Of Names: Traditional Names from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

1. I should have looked to see what else this author has written before I bought the book - her penchant for New Age subjects would have warned me off. I wanted a book with a lot of Celtic/Gaelic names for a baby. There are those, but half the book is taken up with surnames (not what I was interested in) and the names of Celtic deities (interesting, but again, not what I was looking for).

   And if you write a book with Gaelic names in it, PLEASE include a guide to pronunciation! I admit that my knowledge of Gaelic is pretty limited, but I am pretty sure that some of the pronunciations the author did give were wrong, which didn't exactly inspire a lot of trust in her research.

   All in all, I'll probably return it.

1 comments about Christmas in Wales: A Homecoming.

1. This is a correction to the blurb about this title. I believe the name of Jane Maas' husband is Michael (see co-author, Michael Maas as well as the book she wrote on advertising in 1986 "Adventures of an Advertising Woman"). Peter is the name of Michael's brother.

1 comments about American Ancestors and Cousins of the Princess of Wales.

1. It should come as no surprise that the late Princess Diana had strong American connections through her Spencer heritage and Roberts skillfully outlines the most important and useful links among her estimated 20 million living American relatives. Di had ancestors in six of the thirteen colonies, so non-New Englanders need not despair. The principal author is well known for his work at the New England Historic Genealogical Society and this not-large volume is crammed with useful gateway ancestors in abbreviated and modified Register format.

1 comments about The Surnames of Wales: For Family Historians and Others.

1. This is an OUTSTANDING resource for anyone doing Welsh research! It provides excellent background information on surname derivation, frequency, and geographic dispersal. Be sure to utilize their family origins prediction service described in the book which uses surname frequency to narrow your search. Required reading for researching in Wales.
