  • Patrick Devlin
    I saw my family name book on this website and had to buy it. The number of times I've looked at the stands in Edinburgh and never managed to find my name. Once I tapped in the web address I found it immediately.

  • Gordon Anderson
    I bought my surname Anderson from Lang Syne. It was good to read about other famous Anderson's and about my clan. Recommend this book, good value.

  • David Wright
    I purchased the clan mini book of my name Wright. This small book was a welcome find. I never knew the origins of my name before and this was a handy guide.
