please find surnames and family trees on the following URL-
http://ancestry.com
I found some of the following jat surnames in USA on the above site with their numbers-
kaswan.....15
burdak.......27
godara........1
jakhar..........1
punia...........12
dahiya..........11
malik............1373
chahar...........1
teotia.............1
chauhan.........126
dudi................2
lamba..............37
chhikara...........4
pachar.............10
tomar...............161
nain.................25
toor.................171
nehra...............25
rathi................543
dabas...............39
It is interesting to note that this site gives 1930 U.S. Census data and Social Securities Death Index in which most of the above surnames are after english first names. Where as in the phone directory and faily trees directory we find some Indian names also. A detailed research can provide links with jat immigration and origin of Jats.It can also help to find the meaning of Jat surnames which so far are mostly undefined.

The high incidence of Tomar is because its also a last name found in Sweden and Portugal.
