Hi -
FamilyTreeDNA issues a newsletter to be found at
http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp
The latest issue mentions sites where the total number of people with the
CARDEN name in USA and in Great Britain can be found. In an earlier posting
I reported the USA result, and if anyone would like to follow the trail and
report it again I expect others will be interested.
For those in Great Britain, the site concerned shows that there were, on the
Office of National Statistics database in September 2002, the following
numbers of individuals in Great Britain -
1627 named CARDEN (and that this ranks 4417th out of 270,000 surnames)
210 named CARDING (ranks 20639th)
111 named CARDIN (ranks 31017th)
72 named CARDON (ranks 40657th)
It is recommended that the above numbers are multiplied by 0.93 to allow for
duplications, for deaths since the database was established in 1998, etc.
Interesting?
Arthur.
