American Family Names
Doomed to Extinction

Any American who wants to perpet
uate the family name has small hope
of success unless he can give his fam
lily more fertility in the male line than
is true Of average Americans.
Figures for male and female births
and Deaths" says DR.. E. E. Free in
Weeks Science, from the United
States census make it possible, the sta
tistical department of life insurance
company of New York city points out,
TO calculate the chance that any fam
lily will have male descendants of the
same name in the first generation.
the second generation, and so on as
far as one carries the calculation.
Even in the first generation there
is only little more than an even
chance that the name will survive, for
about half of the children born to the
average family are girls, and not
enough boys are born to make any
where nearly sure that the family
name will be carried over.
Among the grandchildren there Is
only about one chance in three that
the name still will persist. Among the
great grandchildren the chance falls TO
not much over one in four.
by the sixth generation there is but
one chance in five that the original
family name still will be in existence
On this basis more than four-fifths of
the families that settled in colonial
America already should be extinct,
which is probably fact After thou
sand years or so more than so per cent
Of the family names will be gone" =
