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!
