39448 is where I rank.
there are a lot with my last name but few with the same spelling as me. spell it with a "c" and add an "s" to the end and it ranks 215.

...mine shows up at 32373 which is ironic since 323 is my street address and my dad died at age 73...go figure, oh you numerologists...the old world spelling didn't even show up...

Mine is 26th on the list, but I'm not surprised since there is one in every city and town, and almost every home in the nation.

Swenson is surname number 1561 in the USA.

[oklahomajewel]

My last name on my checks now is the married name I had for 20+ years... McDonald is # 117 on the list.

My maiden name is of German descent and I'm not surprised it is #52,094 on the list. Grall is more common in the Wisconsin/Ohio area than down here. My great great grandfather (dad's side) had a brother or cousin that came from German too and apparently was more fertile and stayed more north .... hahaha
