Mundy Family Distribution Map:
Red = Every 1 in 100 people in the state's population bear the name
Mundy
Dark blue = 1 in 10,000 people bearing the name
Virginia, South Carolina, and Indiana as of 1990 have the highest per capita concentration of Mundy's in the US, followed
closely by North Carolina and Georgia. While this is valuable information it is important to remember that this is not the
highest NUMBER of Mundy families in the United States at any given time but reflects the per capita concentration within
each state individually as reflected in collected census data.
Still it is a good tool in getting a sense of our family's migration patterns. Also keep in mind that our family name was spelled
by clerks many ways, but most often as Munday or Monday and it wasn't until the end of the 19th century that the family
began spelling it Mundy on a more consistant basis, both in Georgia and Virginia. This wide variation of spellings in previous
censuses also dilutes the per capita concentrations that may have otherwise been prevalent in earlier censuses. Also
ennumerators were notorious for getting names wrong, or getting information from neighbors who got it wrong when the
family wasn't present at the time of the enumerator's visit. Check out distribution maps for the other variant spellings for our
name.

Mundie Family Distribution Map:
Tennesee has by far the most Monday's followed by West
Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin and then Arkansas and Oklahoma.
In 1880 Louisiana had a surge of people using the surname
Mondy, but evidently that was a fluke (most likely caused by
an enumerator.)
The only year with information that Hamrick had for the Mundie
variant is 1990 where Virginia definitely has the most families
using this spelling. The majority, from what I have seen in the
records, seem to be in the King William County area, where
there was a split in the family caused by one member having
supposedly been involved with an embezellment of county funds.
