I had to look that one up! <G> It looks pretty heavy weight and involved but very interesting. Would I had the time to study it in depth. There's also another one: onomastics or the study of names. > All good efforts. I admire people who do one-name studies. It can be very time consuming initially though. If you've a family who've long lived in one town or village, doing a One Place Study is fascinating, a lot of work though and it can't be detailed in Legacy. It can also make for a very complex tree where families are marrying into one another. > "Name collectors" as Ron describes them, do everyone a disservice.
