20.01.2022 How much do you know about where your ancestors lived? I'm not just talking about the name of the village, but about the deeper history that shaped day to day life. After all your family story is more than just names and dates.... - What was the environment like? - How big was their village? What was the population? - How far did they live from other village? - What was the history of the village? - Is the place mentioned, a stream, village, borough, parish or city? - What was the state of commerce, trade, and manufacturing? - Did it have any scientific, literary institutions, or religious establishments? If you haven't been able to answer these questions, then how do you discover this history? In the 1800s Samuel Lewis complied a number of volumes that detailed the answers to these and many other questions. They are called Lewis's Topographic Dictionaries. He produced these for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This is the fourth edition of England's Topographical Dictionary, released in 1840 in four volumes. With rich descriptions and broad histories, this guide will help you fill out the story of your ancestors. https://www.gould.com.au/lewiss-topographical-dictionary//

11.01.2022 Are you like me and think that Mc and Mac surnames are some of the most complicated in the British Isles? For example: imagine if you were researching the surname McClarence... - and to your surprise, you stumbled upon a variant McLawrence. - and you were researching McLachlan and saw it written as McGloughlan. - and you were researching McGuigan and found McQuigan - and you saw McQuade written as McWade - and McWright written as McRight - and McReady and McCready. I don't know about you, but my head is spinning! By this stage you have gone all the way from 'McC' to 'McL' to 'McG' to 'McQ' to 'McW' to 'McR' and back to 'McC'. And you would have every reason for tearing your hair out in confusion and thinking that "it's all too hard!" But as author Carol Baxter says don't despair, there are logical reasons for all of these spelling exchanges, in fact they are predictable once you understand the sounds and letters of the English language and how they influence 'Mac' or 'Mc' surnames. She has produced this guide book to demystify all of this, and give you a great understanding. It will help you in your detective work, giving you new ideas of other spellings of your ancestors' surnames that might just provide that connection you are looking for. This ebook is not a surname dictionary, but a foundational guide to help you find other ways of spelling your 'Mac' surnames of interest. www.gould.com.au/making-sense-of-surname-spellings-the-m//
