This has nothing to do with your question but I thought you might find it interesting.
About 1993 the Birmingham, AL, newspaper, "The Birmingham News" carried an extensive article on the McFarland Clan.In the article they said Bates was the second most common surname.
DNA shows that I am probably related to the Massachusetts Bates, but my father who lived from 1888 to 1974 always said we had Scotch blood.
