Randy Seaver does a Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post every week. His blog for this one is: Geneamusings

I have thought about doing it every once in awhile, and since I am planning on keeping up with this DreamWidth journal, I might as well do it here. :)

This week's is about how many Wills you can find for grandparents and great-grandparents SURNAMES in the FamilySearch Full Text Search.

Mom's Side:
LOWERY: 9128
    My Grandpa Paul Norman Lowery, Sr. , Great Grandpa Green Lewis Lowery
COOPER: 89,437
    Dora B. Cooper, my GGrandma
MOORE: 210,899
    My Grandma, Mary Ann Moore, her father William Gardner Moore
VINSON: 5885
    Nellie Belle Vinson, GGrandma.
    
    
Dad's Side:
ROSE: 134,506
    Thomas Benjamin Rose, (Grandpa Rose), William Henry Rose (great-grandfather)    
GIBBS: 19,145
    Grace Florence Gibbs, (Great-Grandma)    
WISLEY: 394
WISELY: 1498 (another 'common' spelling)
    Ethel Lois Wisley, (Grandma Rose), Victor Earl Wisley (Great-Grandpa)
SNEED: 3598
    Ruby Sneed (Great-Grandma)
    
    
And while we're at it (and I've been doing a bit of research on her line)
My StepMom's line:
SEABAUGH: 29
FULBRIGHT: 297
GROSSHEIDER: 1
MUELLER: 6382


Let's throw Seph's in, while I'm at it...
HARRISON: 137,856
ROCKOW: 19
D'Addeo: 0 (Addeo: 2)
VERRE: 92

LAURRI: 0
PROVENZANO: 22
DOWLING: 3253
MAHONEY: 7709


Just a few to go through!
The Italian on Seph's side gives slim results though.
As well as the German (Rockow, and my StepMom's family) I wonder if it would read as ß in Großheider correctly? Or Müller?
I will have to try those other options.
But it does look like most of the Seabaughs were in the correct county, So I will definitely need to dig into those.
