The Surname Detectives $14.95 (List price $30.00)
Investigating Surname Distribution in England, 1086-present day.
Colin D. Rodgers
Manchester University Press 1995
(from the introduction) "From the author of the best-selling Family tree detective, this helpful guide provides the amateur genealogist or family historian with the skills to research the distribution and history of a surname.
Colin Rogers uses a sample of 100 names, many of them common, to follow the migration of people through the centuries. If you have one of the 100 or so sample surnames, the book maps out your surname distribution through the centuries. If not, you can still learn how to find out where your namesakes live now, how they have moved about the country through time, and how the name started out - quite probably in the medieval period as a place name, a nickname or Christian name, or as a tame based on your ancestor's job (like Carpenter or Smith).
Colin Rogers finishes this fascinating book by showing how the distribution of surnames can be studied irrespective of the size of the surrounding population, and reaches some interesting conclusions about which names are more reliable guides to migration since the fourteenth century.
The surname detective is a must for genealogists and surname study addicts, but it also has much to interest the professional historian. population geographer and geneticist."

Irish-American Landmarks $15.00  (In print at $52.00) (new book)
John A. Barnes
Gale Research, 1995
(from the back cover) For three Centuries the Irish have maintained a special relationship with America. At the height of the potato famine in the mid-19th Century, more than a million Irish traded what little they owned for passage aboard coffin-ships, hoping that a better life waited oil new shores. Treated as second-class citizens upon arrival, they embarked upon yet another extraordinary journey to become a political, religious and economic force in the United States. Author John A. Barnes, driven by his passion to discover his own ethnic heritage, takes you to the sites and memorials of the Irish in America.
Visit Michigan's Emerald Isle, where breakaway Mormon leader Jesse James Strang proclaimed himself king Discover Doyle's Cafe in Boston-a century-old monument to two great Irish-American passions: hospitality and politics a Find out how James Concannon, a native of the Aran Islands, brought wine-making to California a Learn about Margaret Gaffney Haughey, who rose from poverty to open orphanages and asylums in New Orleans and became the first woman in the U.S. to be memorialized with a statue.
With a timeline and more than 100 photos, Irish-American Landmarks is certain to delight anyone with an interest in the amazing story of the Irish in this country.
