It's Saturday Night -
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) Write about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, in a status or comment on Facebook, or in Google Plus Stream post.
Here's mine:
I used the Find A Grave search engine. It only shows exact matches. There are 20 names per page (and probably a 10,000 limit, and there may be name variations, or include the search surname within another surname).
* Seaver: 5,581 names.
* Richmond: 34,347 names
* Carringer: 550 names
* Auble: 802 names
* Leland: 6,093 names

Here's my post. I was surprised by which surname had the most.

Fun! But it did show me that I have that much more research to do! LOL

Here's my post. I was a little surprised at how large some of the numbers were.

No surprises in my list: https://emptybranchesonthefamilytree.com/2022/05/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-194/
I don't have a blog, but here's my list:
Provard - 108
Tonkin - 5707
Roberts - 517143
Crittenden - 6724
Burger - 22863
Heck - 47188
Kormann - 445
Baier - 6242
No surprise on my Provard name. It's a rare one and I can trace every one of them back to the original Provard in Pennsylvania. My wife's names are all from Germany (her parents immigrated to the US in 1955), so the numbers are lower.
