I wonder how many people get put off making a family tree because they have so many relations called Smith or Jones. |

Nearest SMITH relations are spouse of a 2nd cousin and also that of a 2nd cousin once removed. |

I have Smiths, Smyths and Smythes - all the censuses show they spelt their names differently (same family.) They give me a bloomin' headache, the lot of them :-| :-P |

No Smith or Jones either for me not even into the family with over 1500 names that are direct links and not inter-married, I dont know if some in a long chain in Manchester/Cheshire went into Smith or Jones,,,,,,but stopped doing twigs of more twigs as the genetic line gets to thin then to be -------- |

I thought I had a Smith (picked the wrong bride) and only one family of Jones's (through marriage) who went off to Utah in the 1860's and became Mormons, so not bothered any more with them |

So perhaps the names Smith and Jones aren't as common as we are led to believe then? |
