about the origin of family names and
when people first began to use them?

When the human family was small
and people lived close together one
name was enough to identify man
or a woman. Abraham. and Sarah,
Ruth and Jacob, never troubled about
family names. ....n.
In the eleventh century the popu-
lation of the world had greatly in
creased, the people lived in many diff
ferent countries and men travelled a
great deal, and SO as means of iden-
tifcation they took surnames or fam
lily names, and these names were
handed down to their children. The
son of John was Johnson, the son of
William was Williamson. Men were
