Yeah. I guess Hitler was a really rare surname?

[DontSayBanana]

So what did the other members of the Hitler family have to do? Did everybody change their name to Schneider?

Some changed their name, and IIRC, most, if not all, his surviving relatives made a pact to let the bloodline die.

I wonder if the Trumps will end up doing the same....

[Valmy]

I was mainly referring to people who were not closely related to him at all. I mean not everybody named 'Johnson' is closely related.

Yes. His father was the first to use it as a lastname among his relatives. Their ancestors spelled the name Hiedler.

[Valmy]

I see. That was a lucky break for all the Hiedlers out there.

All of Germany in one book? 

[PJL]

I wonder how common Mussolini's are in Italy.

[Richard Hakluyt]

I had a couple of mates who were called Mosley back in my school days. But they were Jewish
