You claim not to be a search engine, I understand. You claim that you take data sets and interpret them. So, I see you can look up names based off of the 2000 census data. I can find results for Miller and Smith of course, but you claim to know nothing about "Hogenmiller".
I too can reference Census data:
http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/dist.all.last (1995)
http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/freqnames2k.html (2000)
1995 info:
NAME (last) %FREQ CUMM FREQ RANK
HOGENMILLER 0.000 89.998 83714
2000 census (in excel spreadsheet):
HOGENMILLER 64186 290 0.11 84385.36 96.21 0 (S) (S) (S) (S)
I did a quick bit of checking and it seems that you stop after rank 2500. The surname "HIGH" shows up, but NEWBERRY does not.
| HIGH | 2500 | 13236 |
| NEWBERRY | 2501 | 13233 |
So while there may have only been around 290 Hogenmillers in the year 2000, they are still in the Census bureau's list and you should really index that. By failing to include us, you indicate that Hogenmillers are statistically insignificant. We will not stand for it! Just wait until all 290 of us (except for those that have either died or changed their names in the last 9 years) begin a nationwide protest! Then you will see just how statistically insignificant we are!
Regards,
A Hogenmiller
