The Lighter Side / Re: Censuswhack

As an absolute newbie to this message board, I think I should get the sympathy vote for the worst family name to have to search for.  When I first started searching for family roots years ago, I innocently typed in my grandfather's name into Google, and had to shut down my computer when I saw what I had done.  My sister-in-law thought that my grandfather's name was bad, but was totally horrified to find out what HIS father's name was.  I can verify that these are NOT nicknames nor are they shortened versions....  Both are listed in the Yorkshire census records, and I have their birth certificates for verification.  Oh dear....

Family name:  Muff

Grandfather:  Harry
Great-grand-father:  Major
