by J. D. Keith Palmer (Author)

The Palmer family name is followed through its mention in historical works. There are useful pointers for documentary genealogists. From the 9th Century onwards, Vikings, Crusaders, Royalty, Churchmen, criminals, patriots, and public benefactors appear, against a background of wide interest even to non-Palmers. As part of every family history interest, Heredity, DNA and human evolution are considered.
