It's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) Go into your Genealogy Management Program (GMP; either software on your computer, or an online family tree) and figure out how to Count how many surnames you have in your family tree database.
2) Tell us which GMP you're using and how you did this task.
3) Tell us how many surnames, and if possible, which Surname has the most entries. If this excites you, tell us which surnames are in the top 5!
Well my Ancestor Quest has a lot of surnames, but by far my surname Hansen is the most popular in my database. Hard to believe it started in Denmark in 1862 first son of Hans Mikkelsen was Hans Jorgen Hansen in 1862 older brother of my grandfather Anton Hansen. Hans had 10 children and 5 of the brothers came to Minnesota and had a lot of children and grandchildren.
