An excellent tool for those who want to learn more about their Welsh ancestors. It is essential reading for anyone tracing Welsh family history before 1900. The details about when the patronymic naming system declined in different parts of Wales is important for family historians to be aware of. The map on page 56 is worth the price of the book. Everything else is frosting on the cake!

Geneaology gold for anyone with Welsh ancestors. Simple and thorough explanation of the patronymic system. Solace for finding ancestors named Evan Evans, whose father was Evan Evans, son was Evan Evans, nephew.... etc. I stopped banging my head on the desk once I understood.
