"In an extensive introduction E.R. Seary discusses the historic and linguistic origins of Newfoundland surnames and their cultural sources - notably English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, French, Syrian, Lebanese, and Micmac. The body of the work is a dictionary of family names, which includes variant spellings and cross-references, countries of origin, and meaning. Newfoundland's most common surnames and places named after families are also identified." "Originally published in 1977, this edition has been completely reset and incorporates additions and corrections."--Jacket.

Work Description
This book has been recommended by Newfoundland geneologists and family tree researchers as an excellent source. It has a long detailed list or surnames and their origins. I believe it is now available as an ereader.
