Hi,
I just noticed a thread that talks about the book "The Surnames of Scotland". I was wondering if someone who has the book could do a quick lookup on two names? I am tempted to buy the book but the price on amazon is £16. :O
The names are Greenlees and Fairnie.
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Scottish Surnames
Hi Andy
A trip to a local studies/family history library, or in an emergengy a book shop
should let you see the entries!
It is a book I've often thought about buying but never got around to because I don't think I'd use it that often, so I can't quite justify the expense!
Best wishes

Re: Scottish Surnames
Try a Google advanced book search
http://books.google.com.au/advanced_book_search
Type surname or surnames or whatever in the title box. You can even type the name of the book you mentioned but put it within quotes. You’ll only get a snippet but if you don’t get a result the name probably isn’t in the book.
Type a surname in the “with all the words” box.
See what turns up.
(They probably didn’t have Google Books in 2007)
