My family name is pretty rare. I'm one of 2 people in the entire US with my name, and my 5th cousin or however far removed he is spells his first name differently. Pretty much if someone has my last name, they are within a few generations of being related to me. One of our relatives is a nun in Chicago, who I guess got bored with praying because she's spent the last 30 or so years tracing our family history back. She managed to trace it back to 1262, where it was given as a nickname to a guy name Conradinus, and it seems to have continued in the family since then. We're from a small town in Northern Italy, Vodo Di Cadore, although there is evidence we are from Conegliano Veneto. That's my Dad's Dad. My Dad's Mom was Quinn, which there's about a billion of. My mom's mom was Dawson, ditto, and her dad was a pretty rare Scottish name. We don't know a ton about that family as my Grandfather's dad died when he was 2 (1930's), and his mom sold most of the family stuff after my Grandfather joined the army.
