Quite Interesting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This was a great book to read. It covers more topics than anyone could imagine and many interesting facts were presented. For instance, one neat thing I learned was that people who are named after their fathers are more likely to end up in a mental institution. The book also talks about name-changing in Ellis Island, names of geographical locations, maiden names, and much more. Highly recommended!
