For all you who are in the societies or heavily into family research. Do you find it's more common for people to be more involved if they have an uncommon surname? Like, are there many Jones, Smith, Johnson types? I was completely not feeling work today and was messing around with familysearch.com and I think I would shoot myself if I had to research my surname beyond my grandfather. It's not quite "Jones" but it's almost there. Plus common first names, like John, were ever so popular for the guys.
It'd be a million times easier to research my mom's side or my paternal grandmother's side. I can pretty much count on anyone in the country with the same last name is related in some way. For example, for my great grandmother's maiden name there's only 17 matches when I do a search on whitepages.com That's for the entire country!
