In addition to its etymological roots, each name is ranked in terms of its prevalence -- from Smith (#1) to Bosch (#5000) -- and most names include interesting narratives of prominent Americans bearing the surname. In many entries, a list of published genealogies is included, a feature not found in any other book on family names" -- Book jacket.
