That's pretty cool. What I found interesting is that my last name is most common in France, but all of my ancestors are from Ireland and my last name is of Celtic decent.

Mine is fairly spread out all over the world, but I had checked out my grandmothers name, a very german sounding name, and it came up in Germany and Poland, and then no where else except New Zealand. That was interesting.

so... bout this... my last name... doesn't show my family that lives in iowa and we've now been there for, oh, 10 years.

Mexico must not count. Fernandez and Rodriguez don't even show up.

My name is pretty much only in the US and Canada.

Ya i noticed it really only includes NA, Europe, India, Australia/NZ, Argentina and Japan.

Poor record keeping in Mexico?

My surname is more heavily concentrated in the UK at 144.92 FPM. Followed by Australia, New Zealand, US and Canada.

Its nice to see that my surname is concentrated in Ireland, the US, and Australia. Looks like my rebellious relatives who were shipped off to the states and to Australia replicate like rabbits.
