Surname Maps

At the end of Harold Mathieson's presentation on Migration Trails, he demonstrated software called Surname Atlas. We were able to locate the location of British surnames at the time of the 1881 census.


Jerry Linderman did more research for us (Thanks, Jerry!) and located a website that produces similar maps. 

Here's the clip of his email:

"I found this site that does surname maps of the world. It uses current data but there is one site for Great Britain that uses 1881 census.
 
World
 
Great Britain
