Are all SMITHS related?

Question:

Are all SMITHS related?

if you have the same last name, are you related by blood somewhere down the line?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No...when they were doing Surnames way back in the day they were typically done by your occupation. You could have had 2 silversmiths one from one area and another from somewhere else that have never even met, but both got the Surname of Smith...
