Hi Everyone, Found a fun site for all of you to try. <A HREF="http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html">Search Names Files From 1990 Census</A> or http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html This rates surnames in order of frequency in the 1990 census. The Ivester surname is #20,181 on the list. As you can imagine, Smith is #1 and..... are you ready for this... the last name on the list at #88,799 is Aalderink. Hope you enjoy the list. Emma
