Evidently no one else is familiar with this book?. I'd be interested but can find no mention of it anywhere. Where did you see this "blurb?"
Thanks pj. I did google it but didn't go to the extent you clearly did
Are any of you familiar with Liam Donnelly's book Edward Winslow's English Origins? If so what do you think of it? According to the blurb I've seen it pushes the family back to the 1250s through re-examination of the family using in part newlypublished records.
If you are talking about "Weston Pedigree Reconsidered: A Review of Documentation Provided by the College of Arms"You posted this to the wrong message. This is about the new Winslow book.
1. I'd like to know which Herald did the work for the authors
and
2. Who wrote the OTT reviews on Amazon, all of which seem to deserve an award for fiction.

Yes, I have a copy and I have read it. I remember having a number of problems with the book, though I wish I had taken more notes as to all of my thoughts. No, the book cannot be said to establish the English origins of Edward Winslow, and thereforecertainly cannot be said to extend the English ancestry of Edward Winslow. The majority of the book covers records which were already known in the form of IPMs, patent rolls, close rolls, fine rolls, etc. New information comes from the Winslow Manor
The primary reason the book does not identify the English origins of Edward Winslow is that it does not even attempt to. The book starts with Winslows in the 13th century and works it way down towards more recent times but never makes it to EdwardWinslow. Apparently the intention is to complete the trail in volume 2 which has not been released yet. Still, this is doing genealogy backwards - there is no point telling me about Edward Winslow's 14th century ancestors if you can't prove who his
The structure of the book is a little unusual. Because there are so many John, Edward and William Winslows, the author has given every subject an identifying suffix. For example, some of the names are William Winslow Chaplain, William Winslow Armiger,William Winslow Pavilioner, John Winslow Maunciple, John Winslow Soton, John William Salop, etc. This is at times confusing, at times helpful, and at times misleading. Ultimately, I think the author is trying to link Edward Winslow to William Winslow of
