Does anyone know of a published study of the most common surnames from the
19th and early 20th Century in the United States? I am looking for something
that might provide me with a "Top 100" (or more) list, along with the
associated statistical data for each name. I do not necessarily need
breakdowns by state, but that would be interesting.

Thanks,

Paul K. Graham

p.s. - Has anyone else noticed that Ancestry.com no longer returns the total
results number for queries made on the site?
