This is the list of surnames from my PAF genealogy program. Putting it together was an experience. There are no famous people listed here but there are quite a few of the infamous variety. Some of them are only last names gleaned from public records, Bibles and memories. Some have surprised me, I forgot that I put them in there, it's been awhile (they say the memory is the second thing to go). And a few of the more exotic ones that you'll run across are probably just spelled wrong.
There are currently 907 different surnames listed below, representing some 4712 actual persons.
Not all are relatives and some that are are so remote that saying you're related is really stretching the point.
Most are from the Maryland area of the USA, more particulary Harford, Baltimore and Saint Mary's Counties and Baltimore City. But, you'll also find folks in here from all over the world.
I did it for you. Somewhere in the morass of names you may find that one that fits in that special, empty place and ties it all together. I hope so.
And if, while you are wallowing around in here, you find a mistake or two
or three, a connection to your family, or you just have the most wonderful suggestion
- please let me know. But, be nice.
