How common is your last name?

I would have guessed mine is pretty rare, but compared to some of you I may as well be named "Smith" ...

Hm, that's quite dubious. I eaven got that one two times in my local phonebook. There should be some more people around southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria bearing that name and then maybe as well some more in the US and Canada. :eyebrow:

One of the kind. They can't even find it.

I found out that this site is not able to deal with so-called umlauts (= mutated vowels, e.g. ä, ü, ö) or french accents and the cedilla. I don't want to be nerving or flashy, but, excuse me, could it be due to that that it is "one of a kind". If not, then you're one lucky folk and your name is really something special. :D

Yeah I had a few reults spread through the US, found a few people specifically through facebook. Probably more around the areas that you mentioned, my family traced the name all the way back to a Prussian general :D

I find it cool that my family has a seal.

Wow, didn't know that one.
By the way, Milchling is a German word for a special genus of mushrooms. They got that name due to the fact that when you break, crack or cut them they secrete a milky liquid (coming from Milch, German for milk). According to Wikipedia, they are sometimes called milk-heads in English.
Funny thing that you learn about your name via a board for bassplayers. :D

Perfectly logical, as it is a Welch name. :)

For giggles, I put my ex-wife's name in (Borup! :eek: ), and got a surprise. While as expected there are a LOT of them (well...) in Denmark, it actually showed up several places I didn't expect it. Even more interesting, it's Polish in extraction, but Poland go NO numbers...

...needless to say, she did not drop her married surname when we split. Her sister was married and divorced, and did the same. Never quite understood why they didn't go back to "Borup"...

:smug:

:D

(...I think she married me for my name...:ninja: )

No, my last name is pretty much one of the kind. Not just because of that site. :)

Find another "Kronrod" that is not related to me, So far i can't, anyone we find with that last name or if they find us, we find a close link between us in past 100 years
