The MOST MORMON Last Names In Utah History!

If you're from St. George, Cedar City, Hurricane, Washington, or really ANY of the surrounding areas. You know SOMEONE who is Mormon or the more politically correct term is a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (Rolls right off the tongue!). But if you've actually GROWN UP here, you can probably tell someone's religious affiliation JUST by hearing their last name!

Here are the most MORMON LAST NAMES of ALL TIME!

Oh... Brother Jensen! 11% of ALL the Jensens live right here in Utah, and I swear 98% of them are Mormon!
