A FH program I used to use (can't remember which one) had a match facility with the surnames. The only problem was it kept asking me if this "Unknown" was related to that "Unknown".  ::)
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Maybe Ancestry's hints will start doing this....... Aaargh, no, I'd better not tempt fate ::) ;D
