For Belgium: www.familienaam.be
For The Netherlands: www.familienaam.nl

There were no people with my surname in Netherlands. There was one in Belgium but 'misspelled' without the dots.

My surname is Finnish.

As far as I remeber correct, here are about 3000 people with my surname in Finland. There are also some in Sweden and USA (without the dots again).

My name:

France: 0

Belgium: 1

There's a similar service for Finland:

http://192.49.206.69/sukunimi/sukunimi.asp

First choose time frame of birth, type your name and press 'HAE'.
The map and top 3 cities or communes will be displayed. If there's 'ULKOMAAT' displayed in results, it means that those are foreigners moved to Finland.

There are 422 people with the same surname as I in The Netherlands, 2 in Belgium. I know there are also quite a few whose ancestors have emigrated to the USA - though not any direct relatives, unfortunately, would have been nice for holidays, wouldn't it?

My surname is Ryyppö, but I'm no way related to them, so I put also my mother's surname in this list.
If you go to http://192.49.206.69/sukunimi/sukunimi.asp and put Tuppurainen to the field, you can see how my family has moved around Finland in the past.
Sure is interesting ;D

I do not remember clearly which are the most popular first names in Germany. Linguists see, however, that for several years now names from the Holy Bible are increasing in popularity.

The most common surname, I think, is Schmidt (Schmitt), closely followed by Schwar(t)z, Müller, Krause, Lehmann, Schulz(e).

In Northern Germany, Jansen or Jensen are quite common. In Bavaria, Huber pervades a lot.

I don't think the system works really fine because when I try my own name, I don't see a color near my place.

Ernst · Post by **Ernst** » Thu May 13, 2004 2:40 pm

People with my Surname in Finnland are found in Helsinki and Lahti, but not surprisingly they are Ulkumat

At least in Helsinki there have been some before 1945.
