Surname Distribution Map
Today I have been alerted to a new Italian surname distribution map called CognoMix.Thanks go to the Guild Face Book page for this
From an initial play it appears that this site allows the distribution to be seen not just across Italy as this information shows.
The geographical distribution of the surname ORLANDO in Italy
On the actual online map the numbers are clickable so clicking the 1,252 against Sicily where my own Orlando's are from breaks the details down to these occurances
The geographical distribution of the surname ORLANDO in Sicily
By clicking on the Caltanissetta region, again where my Orlando's are from breaks the details down into the individual Communes
The geographical distribution of the surname ORLANDO in the province of Caltanissetta
The numbers are of course approximations, but it is a good indiciation of where to focus the research.
