Talking About Ethnicity......

[Peter Parka]

This is interesting. Put your last name into it and see where in the world most people with that last name live. Mine is most common in England, especially round Yorkshire though there are quite a lot in New Zealand too.

[Niamh]

My maiden name was most popular in New Zealand which was very surprising as it's a really really Irish name and my married name is most popular in Australia

 

[Grimousetie]

Hehe, it really breaks it down!

Mine makes a lot of sense since Labate is from my dad's side, which is mostly Italian, so Italy, yeah!

 

[AUFred]

North America & Mostly Alabama

 

[Tangerine]

I like how it breaks in down into even counties and cities. One of the small towns in PA listed among the highest concentrations is where many of my extended family live or originally lived, so the data appears pretty accurate.

 

[Grimousetie]

That is awesome!

Mine came up Canada first... then the U.S.

..... and hubby's name came up on the Top Forename list too.

My maiden name came up Australia first... then the U.K..... then the U.S.

......Top Forenames list gave none of my family's.

 

[cam elle toe]

Australia is just one big melting pot it seems....

 

[RedRyder]

Australia is just one big melting pot it seems....

I always thought that about the U.S. too.

Guess it really depends on where your great great great great grandparent's dropped anchor. :nod:

 

[cam elle toe]

OK


The way my grandad spelled our name when he came to Oz has no matches:eek

The original spelling, but without the umelat coz I dont know how to type it showed

Sweden (of course)...very high

Spain

and surprise surprise Australia

 

[skyblue]

i dont need to,my surname comes from normandy...which was ran by vikings,add that to my mum coming from yorkshire.....i'm a viking so lock up your daughters

 

[dkwrtw]

Australia, very interesting. My last name isn't my actual last name though, if that makes any sense. My grandfather had some kind of falling out with the family and changed his last name, I gotta ask my dad what our actual family name even is.

 

[dkwrtw]

Ok Found it out, our actual family name is from Ireland.

 

[edgray]

Bonnie Scotland for me.

But I'm not tightfisted at all, I promise.
