Over ten years in the making, The Blakeneys: An Etymological, Ethnological, and Genealogical Study, by award-winning author and historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook, is the most detailed work ever undertaken on the origins and meaning of the Blakeney surname and family; a classic that will fascinate, educate, and enlighten for generations to come. This global bestselling 400-page chronicle includes not only a comprehensive exploration of the family's beginnings and name, but also a complete Blakeney family tree (beginning with Willihelm de Blakenia, born about 1150), an exhaustive Blakeney Surname Dictionary (that includes all related names), thirty-eight illustrations, the family crest and motto, articles on Blakeney Point (Norfolk) and Lord William Blakeney (1672-1761), information concerning the Blakeney-Blakley Family Association of Canada and the Castleblakeney Development Committee of Ireland, and an in-depth bibliography and index. The foreword is by Ray H. Blakeney, former president of the Blakeney-Blakley Family Association. Col. Seabrook's The Blakeneys is a must-have for every Blakeney family member, relation, friend, and researcher. Available in paperback and hardcover. Acclaimed neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of nearly 100 educationally enlightening books (currently) for all ages. Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage, the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, and the 21st great-grandson of King Edward I, Col. Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner! Col.
