When i watch the news, TV shows, and see the end credits etc, and I hear peoples surname I think "Oh that is a surname found in Suffolk" or someone with an English accent whose surname is MacCullen I think, he must have Scottish ancestry.

If a crew member is called John Sheldrake I think "that is a Suffolk and Essex surname".

My late aunt always swore that the actor Robert Pine (most famous from the TV show "Chips") was a relative. My wife looks at his son Chris in movies and tells me there is a family resemblance. If, and it's a huge if, there is a connection, it's back in Devon in the 1600's. Both family lines came from in and around Exeter.

Or if a TV show crew member on the end credits is called Abraham Isaac Cohen, must be Jewish.
