I know this is rather of an odd question, but... i'm kinda under a massive 
sudden time crunch... (I promised a friend I would help him decipher the 
process of registering his name - he's in the Outlands - and it was a vague 
time frame of 'whenever', but now he's fighting in Crown Tournament, and a 
device is required there for that... and the deadline to register is saturday! 
erk!)

I am trying to find any kind of documentation I can get my hands on for the 
name of "Mordrake".  The fellow has used it in the society for over 20 years, 
but never registered it.  He's more than willing to use it as a surname, if 
need be, with the first name of "Hale" - Yes, he likes puns. 

Any help or nudge in the direction of resources would be much appreciated. I 
pretty much exhausted all of the local public library resources: they didn't 
carry any of the books the heraldry page on the SCA.ORG site listed as being 
strong sources.  :-(  I'm going to try the geneological library tonight, to see 
if that has anything. 

I would be very happy to give material thanks to whomever (if anyone) can help 
with this off-topic question!

PS: Thank you to everyone that helped me with the celtic knotwork beastie AOA. 
Finished it last night, and the patron's very very happy.
