Search for your Surname

[Pasty King]

HERE

Well, if you're in the UK anyway, apologies non-uk residents, well, you can still search for your surname and see how many people with it live in the uk, and where they live/lived (comparison of 1998 and 1881).

Yes, this may seem incredibly dull, but for some reason I like it (it might have something to do with the big wad of stats you can look at, mmm...chewy chewy stats *drool*).

So i first looked at the map for Waring (my name) in 1881 - Here

Not very interesting maybe, but then, the map for 1998 - Here!, WoW! See how the Waring's are taking the country by storm!

OK, I'm probably the only person who is going to find this vaguely exciting, and have made a pointless thread about it, but I can help myself.

Ooo, that's quite interesting

Here is my 1881 map, and here is my 1998 one.

Wow, looks like there was a bit of a crazy uprising of the maple family line in northern scotland for some reason....

[maple tree]

Exactly my thinking. How peculiar.

Coincidentally, what were the chances of a Tucker being mentioned on the front page?

That's aimed at you Martin

Anyways, my last name comes from a line of 100% Irish folx. It's also a very, very rare name. In fact, I have never met anyone that has it that is not closely related to me.

My last name doesn't exist in England apprently. I almost feel special.
