Excellent but we Swedish people our dear ancestors used the concept of patronym ==> the son will have fathers christian name plus son

Anders ==> Andersson
Peter ==> Petersson
Olof ==> Olofsson

I dont understand why they did so. Didnt they think about of all the problems we would have in 2015 doing DNA geneology ;-)

Great tip, Mags. I love how you do these.

I think you left out this method:

Go to "My WikiTree" on the pull-down menu and select "Surnames."

So true Chris, but with it being so easy where is the fun in following a treasure map? Ok, ok, I left out the obvious and will gladly walk the plank. Arrrgh!
