    There are 314 people in the U.S. with the last name Graus. Statistically the 66878th most popular last name. Cool.

              Cool. The thing with a number that small is, you have to wonder how many you're tracably related to.

                        Wow, im not in the US but thats still interesting. If I use my birth name (James) and my surname, there are ~1600 people. If I drop to my more common name (Jamie) that drops to ~100. Thats a hell of a difference.

                          I expect that the "results" are statistical calculations, rather than actual counts.

                            There are 21 people in the U.S. named Brady Kelly. I know of none in SA, but I'm no census beauro.

                            I have been trying for weeks to get this little site indexed. If you wonder what it is, or would like some informal accommodation for the 2010 World Cup, please click on this link for Rhino Cottages.

                              They are. Come up with something odd enough and it'll say 1 or less.

                                Gazillions with my first name. 'About' 114 with my surname. None with the same complete name.

                                  Chris - 339,693 people with Chris as first name. 89.14% are male. Meech - 670 people with Meech as last name. Chris Meech - only 1 person in United States with that name. And it ain't me. :cool: It would be weird to meet this individual and find there is some family resemblance. Especially considering my UEL history. :)

                                      My result was 'one or less'. So, I suspect that the smaller the number, the more likely the DB will have an unacceptable margin of error.

                                          Hmph. I thought Graus was a sure fire ticket to being a little special. How many with your full name ? Mine came up blank.

                                          As I remember it, Germans are the largest ethnic group in the US. Even bigger than English and Irish.

                                          You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.
