Forebears

A website I recently stumbled across can show us just how common last names are in the state of Montana.  You can check out the site yourself, it's called Forebears.  There are a lot of fun things you can play around with on that site. Find out the tallest, or shortest people by name.  Find out the most popular Republican or Democrat name, both first and last. That's just the tip of the iceberg with what you can do on this site.

You could easily spend an afternoon avoiding doing any work while on this site.  I'm not saying that's what I did, just that you could do it if you wanted. *wink wink*

Montana Surnames

When it comes to last names in Montana, there might not be a lot of surprises regarding the top two surnames. What was surprising to me was where the rest of Montana last names ranked across America. Not only does the site give you the top names in the state, it also shows where they rank in America.  Two of the top 10 names in Montana don't even rank in the top 30 in America.

We even have a couple last names that fall outside of the top 200 last names in America. Just one more reason that Montana is a very unique state.
