From Randy (a cousin discovery!!) over at Genea-Musings:
it's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
(1) How many entries are there on Find a Grave for your exact current surname and the birth surnames of your grandparents? What about your spouse's grandparents' birth surnames?
(2) Tell us all about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, in a post on Facebook, or on Twitter.
Here's mine:
I used the Memorial search feature on Find a Grave. There I entered only the surname I was looking for in the search parameters and clicked "Search."
Here is what I discovered:
Tapley: 3,491
Drake: 65,255
Ranney: 3,597
Page: 99,539
Harrell: 32,932
Schwalls: 54
Carter: 284,185
Since I do not have a spouse, I went back to my great-grandparents' original surnames.
I thought my Scerbak number was low at 82, but Schwalls is really rare with only 54 entries.
