Using the database search form at "How Popular is Your Name" on the "Sweetest Sound" on PBS.org, I determined the popularity ranking of the surnames of my four great-grandparents.
- Neill-3651
- Rampley-34381
- Trautvetter-99676
- Sargent-1190
- Ufkes-110472
- Janssen-3100
- Habben-40720
- Goldenstein-43095
Of course some unusual names are difficult to research and some common names are easier to research. The frequency of a surname is only one factor in whether or not an ancestor is a research challenge.
