You can check the frequency of any name in the 1990 Census at http://www.census.gov/ftp/pub/genealogy/www/freqnames.html. For fun I checked for CAUSBY and found it occurred with the frequency of 15,894 out of 88,799 making it a fairly rare surname. COSBY occurred with the frequency of 2,917 out of 88,799 surnames. >> Wanda, Thanks for the information. The list has been so quiet. I am wondering if you and I are the only persons on the list that doesn't have their Causby/Cosby links to the rest. Happy Thanksgiving to all out there. Linda L. Brown
