It all depends on which areas you come from. Some areas have some very stable populations, with many generations in one place. OTOH, many of the super fast growing cities and areas like LA, Vancouver, New York and Toronto are more than doubling in population in less than 20 years. (For example Vancouver had about 1 million in 1980 and is supposed to have over 3.5 million by 2020) There is a lot of fun with sorting the new arrivals. Half the names you cannot spell and other half you cannot pronounce. We have many East Indian and Chinese emigrants, in our area. Many of the east Indians have their title, like our equivalent of Mr. and Sir, embedded in the official name and then the Chinese have both their Chinese name and their English name, all of which can be extremely confusing. Then names do not signify inform you of where a person is from; example both English and Chinese have a very common last name of Lee...
