How did they geolocate the surnames ? Mine is pretty unique in my country and it's located in the town where I live. Where did they got this information from ?

- Someone 5y agoThey say it’s from old phone books (https://www.surnamemap.eu/belgium/info.php https://www.surnamemap.eu/belgium/info.php. Seems to be the same for other countries)
- elcapitan 5y agoInteresting, for Germany they don't quote any sources. My guess is that it's from the old D-Info CD-ROMS which used to be quite popular for a while. Obviously they wouldn't mention scraping that data.
