Geni has come up with a fun infographic about US patriotic place names, surnames and more just in time for Independence Day.
I have a personal connection to this one, not so much in the surname department, but the patriotic place name: I grew up in a small town in upstate New York called Liberty. Anyone who traveled from New York City up to Binghamton and beyond would know it easily – Exit 100 on the “Quickway” which is what the locals called Route 17.
