This interesting new website above was recently brought to my attention by Ken Graves of The Graves Family. Using lists of data from electoral rolls and phone directories, eight million surnames are plotted worldwide. 300 million people in 26 countries, are covered, showing the origins of names and the various countries where families bearing the surnames have moved. The site also reveals which of five million first names (forenames) are used most frequently for the various surnames and which regions and cities of the world are the most popular for each surname.
