Book #52

52) Matthews, C.M. HOW SURNAMES BEGAN. Lutterworth Press: 1953 (reprint 2007)

Book recently added to the geneaology collection of the library where I work. Light, interesting, and probably somewhat helpful as a starting point.

I'm also working my way through a book at work about using Ancestry.com.
