Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Many Surnames?


Another mission from Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings.

I use RootsMagic 5 as my Genelaogy Management Program.  I have 10,018 surnames in my husband's and my tree.  My Surname Statistics List is 32 pages long.  Of those pages about 20 pages list surnames that occur only once. The most common surnames in our combined tree are:

Foster        324
Warry        172
Chute         151
Danskin      150
Nichols       142
Sanford      134
Fuller         131
Belknap      127
Lutz           122
Randall      120
Morton       114
Landers      107
Knox          107
Smith         106
Bristol        102
Loomer        93
Palmer         86
Taylor          83 
Tupper         77
Morse          75
Davison        75
Baldwin        66
Stoddart       65
Gates           64
Cleveland     63 
Carpenter     63
Wheeler       60
Humbert       60
Whitman      55
Johnson       55 
Easton         54 
Paterson      53

Most of these surnames are from Robert's tree, which are marked blue, my surnames are marked red, and we both have some surnames that appear in both our trees, marked in green.
