Featured Contributors and Surnames for May 2011

Top Contributors

In May we passed 1.5 million profiles, just two months after reaching the one million landmark (it took over two years to get to one million).

In a parallel development, May's Club 100 has 150 members. Last month was the first time it had 100 members.

Stalwart contributors Paul Bech and Stanley Wood once again made the Club 1,000.

A big thank-you to everyone who contributed to the worldwide family tree this month.
