All I have to do is say this, Del Mar Fair and San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park. Born in La Mesa and raised in Escondido where I left a daughter and two grandchildren up in Valley Center. My family goes back to my great great grandfather helping paint the houses in Coronado and a few pictures of the family at tent city there. My great aunt and grandmother ran the halls of the Hotel Del Coronado while great grandma worked as a telephone operator. <br /><br />Here are my answers...<br /><br /> Ashcraft 6,681<br /> Turner 186,082 (WOW)<br /> Humiston 1325<br /> Mowry 9,574Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00505044254134772500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47468626486945085272022-01-15T17:42:51.456-08:002022-01-15T17:42:51.456-08:00In searching the 1940 census on the Ancestry site ...In searching the 1940 census on the Ancestry site to find the number of people in the U.S. with the same last name as my four grandparents, and no, I have not done a one name study for any of these surnames.<br /><br />Gray - 174,145<br />Towne - 20,631<br />Cummins - 16,050<br />Parrent - 8993<br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362011861463622240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-16616419773088585832022-01-15T16:17:31.578-08:002022-01-15T16:17:31.578-08:00That mission was very interesting.
