Smilde, Drenthe, Nederlands

The genealogy site of Smilde (http://www.genealogievansmilde.nl/) has seven seperate Moes family trees but has not been updated for several years. I have connected all seven families here on Geni. Moes-6 is the family tree to which I (Alex Moes) belong although my immediate family, having long ago left Smilde, do not appear on that site.

Moes-1 ( http://www.genealogievansmilde.nl/moes-1.htm ) begins with Koop Lamberts - I have made profiles for every Moes in this tree and will leave it at this point for now.
Moes-2 ( http://www.genealogievansmilde.nl/moes-2.htm ) begins with Teunis Jans Moes - I have made profiles for every Moes in this tree and will leave it at this point for now).

Why is the name so popular in what would have been quite a small town?
