SNGF - Surnames

For this mission (I hear the Mission Impossible theme in the background!) I took a look at my Scandinavian & Slovenian sections of my database in my Genealogy Management Program (GMP). 

1. How many surnames are in my family tree database:
1. Keough/Lidman database = 1,133 surnames
2. I use Legacy Family Tree version 7.5 and this is how I performed the task:
1. Open family file
2. Click on Reports - All Reports
3. Click on Surname Summary
4. Click on Preview Report - Screen/Printer
5. Surnames are listed in alphabetical order so I paged through to find the top five surname entries - the report gives you the name, the quantity and the date range
3. The top five surnames in my family tree databases are:
1. Keough/Lidman database (adjusted for only the Lidman side):
1. Pedersdatter/Peddersdatter = 33
2. Johnsen/Johnssen/Jonssen = 22
3. Pedersen/Peddersen  = 21
4. Anderssen/Andersen = 18
5. Andersdatter = 12
4. Posting in my blog!

DONE!  Key the music as Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post self-destructs (am I dating myself?).  Cheers
