How about unraveling the history of your surname? The site Forebears.io
gained enough prominence in recent days for revealing information of
about 11 million family names and make a ranking of popularity around
the world.
You can, for example, find out how many people were registered with the same last name and in which countries they live. In some cases, are still available details about the meaning and origin. You can also search in censuses, church records, newspaper reports and even immigration data.
Just click "Surnames" (left menu of the page), enter the desired last name in the search bar, and a few seconds, the result will be displayed.
In tests by UOL Technology, it took persistence. A --possivelmente instability caused by the great procura-- prevented some of the searches.
You can not ensure the accuracy of the information, but they are at least curious.
