The world's pre-eminent superpower has a glorious recent history. Most of this history has been driven by exceptional men and women, who turned the power of hard work into the American Dream.
When we read their names, we pay tribute to their greatness, and ensure that they will never die.
It is important to know a large number of surnames in order to keep oneself informed of these trends.
In this book, you will encounter hundreds of important surnames; it is my hope that this will form a seed for genealogical exploration.

The future is a mystery. The present is a race; we are too busy to observe it properly. However, the past is a country that we must visit now and then, to keep in touch with our roots, and to understand where we came from, so that we can determine where we are going. Family is an integral part of unpacking the secrets of the past.

Surnames help us trace the glorious history of a family over the years, and help us establish genealogical continuity without having to resort to complex DNA tests. It is much easier to track and trace relatives and linked personalities with this information in hand; this is why this book will definitely resonate with you.

It is generally accepted that names have power. Surnames have entrenched power that is handed down from generation to generation, and they are often our links to ancestors we have never even met. This book will show you some of the most famous and long lived surnames of all time, in the United States.

The past is an murky pool of water, and any link between us and our ancestors is a precious bridge between our present selves and those who bore our past life traumas and worked hard so that we could have the lives we do today. We owe everything to the brave men and women who came before us and paved the way.

Numerology, at its most basic, is the science that helps you unlock the power behind those names. In every introductory course of the Zhi School of Numerology, we are taught a vast database of names from across the world, so that we can quickly calculate the four poles of power that are associated with each surname and given name. In this book, you will be introduced to this ancient art, through a series of mnemonic steps. Are you ready? Our parents give us many gifts. Some gifts are genetic.
