BOOK - German-American Names.
By: George F. Jones.
"The author's discussion of the Americaniztion of German immigrants names fills a gap in the current literature. Few authors have succeeded in making this topic as simple and entertaining as Jones has. It is the best treatment of teh subject in English. Medium and large public and academic libraries will want this in their reference sections." Library Journal, (Mar 15, 1990).
"This book is a treasure trove of information about surnames. More than 200 pages of definitions are here, but much more interesting is the 60 pages of introduction, which will tell you more about surnaming than you've ever found in so short a space. And tell it with both style and humor...For a book that seems to be just a dictionary, German-American surnames is a suprise-it is a very readable gem, both informative and fun." National Genealogical Society Bulletin Board (Mar 26,1990).
