    Still shows Ireland as the focal point for my last name.

    Mine is popular in all the cities. Manchester, London, Birmingham, and (fittingly) Aberdeen

    Does it take into account name changes. Such as Bakker to Baker and Drumpf to Trump?

    Edit: Nevermind. It finally worked.

    My last name originated in America when my ancestor migrated from England in the 1600-1700's. We do not know whether he intentionally registered as our current name, or whether it was misspelled/translated in the process. He was probably trying to start a new. That first link doesn't recognize our name though, and that world one isn't loading at all.

    Extreme southern Cornwall and western Wales. But I knew that...
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.
