What is Synthesis?
The “seven pillars” of a One-Name Study are Data Collection, Analysis, Synthesis, Publicising, Responding to enquiries, Publication of results and Preserving the study. This section pertains to Synthesis.
In the context of a One-Name Study, synthesis is about using the information gathered so as to “add value”. I will look into the possible meanings of the name and its origins as well as look at how the name differs from others – for example – in frequency of forenames, infantile mortality and illegitimacy rates.
Reconstructing families and their lineage is of significant interest to many and this study has resulted in quite a few which can be found in the Family History section of this site. Where there is a specific individual mentioned in this study, then there will be a reference to their family lineage.
