This is a groundbreaking work on Hispanic surnames--the first
comprehensive analytical work on Hispanic surnames and the most extensive bibliography of
Hispanic family histories ever published. It is not a study of surnames or family history
in Spain; instead, it is an exhaustive review of the development of Spanish surnames in
Latin America and the Hispanic areas of the U.S, where there are obvious links between
Latin America and Spanish families.
There is a bibliography of Hispanic family history in the U.S. and Latin America,
certainly the most extensive list of its kind ever compiled, and the very heart of the
book. This section alone is worth the price of the book. This bibliography, 25 years in
preparation, consists of every Hispanic family history Platt was able to locate in
newspapers, magazines, historical compilations, and monographs. There is nothing else like
this reference it in existence, and for the genealogist interested in Hispanic ancestry,
this is the first place to begin.
