List of most common FLDS last names

Ever conducted a job interview and you suspected that the person of the other side of the table was a polygamist? Well, through the use of some census records, I've compiled a list of the most common FLDS names. Enjoy.

Barlow
Bistline
Blackmore
Cooke
Dockstader
Draper
Dutson
Fischer
Harker
Hammon
Holm
Jeffs
Jessop
Steed
Stubbs
Timpson
Wayman
Zitting

I swear, like 90%+ of the residents of Colorado City have these surnames. Barlow and Jessop are the most common by far, as those are the names of the two founders of the Short Creek Community (later renamed Colorado City.)

Did I miss any? flt at byu dot net!
