This groundbreaking work challenges assumptions on the frequency of first names and shows that they can be significant in tracing genealogies or studying communities.

An invaluable reference work, providing definitions for a plethora of words old and new from Yorkshire's dialect.

Names are everywhere, identifying people, places, animals, plants, public houses and fields. The investigations in this work involve detective stories into the connections between names and related subjects - archaeology and the landscape; genealogy, genetics and family networks; dialects and social customs; and industrial and farming practices.
