Davis: A Chronicle of Faith and Identity

from $85.00

What if your name was more than a line on a family tree—what if it carried centuries of struggle, faith, and resilience, keeping stories alive that might otherwise be lost?

Davis: A Chronicle of Faith and Identity immerses you in the extraordinary journey of one of the English-speaking world’s most widespread surnames. From its earliest roots in the misty valleys of medieval Wales, where the name Dafydd (David) first took hold, to its spread across Britain’s industrial heartlands and far beyond, the Davis legacy is a tapestry of courage, perseverance, and enduring identity.

Step into the defining moments of history. Witness the shift when fixed surnames became law, altering family identities overnight. Sail with Davis families across oceans in search of freedom and opportunity. Feel the weight of Gold Rush dreams pulling communities westward, and experience the profound chapter of African American history, when newly emancipated people claimed “Davis” as a name of dignity, hope, and new beginnings. Through vivid vignettes, each page brings the lives of those who carried the name to life, connecting readers to their struggles, triumphs, and quiet resilience.

This edition already offers a complete journey through the Davis heritage, giving readers a rich understanding of the people, places, and events that shaped the name. For those who wish to make it uniquely their own, Ancestrio’s personalization service allows you to add up to three family chapters, include photographs, and even create a custom cover and title—transforming the book into a one-of-a-kind heirloom that intertwines your family story with centuries of Davis history.

Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, reunions, or as a treasured gift, Davis: A Chronicle of Faith and Identity is both an immersive historical journey and a personal keepsake. Open its pages to discover how a name became a bridge between past and future—and see how your own family’s story carries that enduring legacy forward.
