Surname commonality
Surname commonality
A few years ago there was a site which listed the most common surnames in each providence of Italy for the 1800s and earlier, but I can't find it now. Can anyone help me out? I'm aware I can google it, but what's most common now may not be what was most common back then. I'd like something that tells what was popular then.

Re: Surname commonality
Does that site return historical counts or contemporary counts?

The information is based on current demographic data rather than historical records.darkerhorse wrote: 16 May 2024, 16:23 Does that site return historical counts or contemporary counts?
Analytics, intuition and a little luck here - this is my secret to success!

That's what I thought. I think historic information is desired by this poster.lewisch wrote: 20 May 2024, 10:47The information is based on current demographic data rather than historical records.darkerhorse wrote: 16 May 2024, 16:23 Does that site return historical counts or contemporary counts?

I think this is an estimate based on last phone books including ALL subscribers, before privacy laws that allowed people not to be mentioned (start of the 1990's).
