I have family in Maine. I visited and was in a bar and a woman started talking. I was replying but wasn’t interested. She kind of made a shitty remark and I said “I’m related to everyone named … … … …” and listed about 8 last names. On the 8th she went 😳 and I said “yeah, you’re my cousin, that’s why”

They've got to be French names. Drouin, Gagne, LaChance, Lemieux, Vachon, Veilloux.

Lol you've named about half my highschool hockey team, no Vachon, but add in a giroux, a bilodeau, and a Grenier and it's pretty close.

I've got a Franco-American grandmother in central Maine, I basically couldn't date anyone with a French surname.

Maybe even Roy or Bolduc

Possibly even Dubois. Though I'm surprised Michaud was a bust so maybe I'm wrong and should be guessing Irish surnames.

The big families I remember that haven’t been named were Moody, I knew a Dempsey in my high school… Rogers, I’m living in Olympia Washington and one of town founders is a Rogers from Brunswick which is right across the River from where I grew up and there were a few Rogers in my class.

Harmon. There are so many unrelated harmons I know. They are everywhere.
