  For the historian, linguist, and genealogist. Statistical tables allow identification of the precise number of immigrants from each European region and the percentage from each region that settled in each colony of North and South America. Tables list numbers of emigrants from even minor towns. This is almost equivalent to a road map for those who know where an ancestor lived in Europe but not where he or she settled in America.

  Based on the thesis that most Spanish immigrants to Chile were Basques, and that their culture absorbed that of the Castilians, Extremadurans, and Andalusians in Chile, this work serves as a reference for history, language, and etymology of surnames for Basques everywhere. The historical and geographical descriptions of Guipúzcoa, Vizcaya, Alava, Navarra, Benabarre, Laburdi, Zuberoa, the mountainous regions of Burgos and Santander, and the description of Basque archaeology up to 1930 are told by describing each village in detail. There follows a sketchy 24-page outline of Basque grammar and vocabulary and a 364-page dictionary of etymologies of Basque surnames giving a history of each family and describing its coat of arms when appropriate.
