You have to search for it in the doohickey at top and it'll tell you where your last name ranks (or if it ranks at all in the top 5000). :)

 

Mine's in the top 170, hubby's last name is in the top 150. Painfully common last names here.

Outside of my family, I have never met ANYONE with my last name.

That's why I think you have a branch of your family out in this valley. And I have no idea who is making more Bartons. Certainly not me!

I will try to get a picture of her. I can see a certain resemblance.

That would be very interesting to me.

 

I have told the story here before...my grandfather was the orphaned son of an eastern European circus high wire act. My aunt still has the McGuffey reader where he was working out the spelling of his last name.

My last name doesn't make the top 1000 -- but there are only about 800 people in the country with my last name, some of whom are actually famous ;) Meanwhile, my maiden name, which is now my middle name, is in the top 50.

I'm going to chalk it up to being off from work today (thus my computer savvy is also on holiday) as to why I missed the .csv file and only saw the .pdf file with the top 1000 names. My married name is on it, it barely makes the top 20,000, but it's there.

Oh, for anyone having problems with the link, my newest version of Firefox kept blocking it as a pop-up. Just copy the link and paste into a new window or tab. I'm a fan of Firefox, but this was the first time it's blocked something that it shouldn't, and meanwhile all week I keep getting ad pop-ups for screensavers! What is wrong with my browser, the latest upgrade was a step backwards!
