Don't worry Kat, you're one of the Special Ones. I believe they ignored those names with 5 or less. Tammy the one with the most names is ranked as number one. So highest numer of names, lowest number in Rank |

Birth name ; WOODMAN count 4702 Ranking1701 Married name : none - not surprising as husband is not English. However, even in country of origin (France) I know everyone who has his name personally - they're all his family. |

I put in a name on my family tree and it came up with zero results. The name was ERLY, so if it is uncommon why can't I find them. Betty |

a bit confused - did you all do the x 0.93 thing? Mine was (without the x0.93) Birth name count 113489 rank 37 married name (the real one) no matches found (it's double-barrelled) married name ( that I use) count 220 rank =20041 Sarah :-) I thought my birth name would rank higher than that - there are pages & pages of in in all the phone books!! |
