Class. My name has a high density in Ireland and then a smattering of occurrences in Europe. Only seen in USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia and NZ outside of Europe. Obviously just places where Irish people went.
Interesting site /map. The FPM (whatever the fark that is - something per million?) for my name, country-wise, runs 1 Oz, 2 UK, 3 NZ, 4 Ireland and 5 US. The five top cities are all in the UK - England, to be more precise - whereas the five top regions are all in NZ. Who knew there were *******s in NZ?

Jesus, didn't think my name was particularly Irish, but virtually only exists in Ireland and places with diaspora

Japan is a country that mixes the futuristic with the totally retrograde, primarily due to it's demographics.

Now that's really cool. Confirmed my suspicion regarding my name. Strongest in German part of Switzerland+western part of Austria, but then USA+Canada, then southern Germany. Many were late 19th century immigrants to North America, mainly Midwest, with some strong pockets in the farming belt like Kansas and Nebraska.jinxed wrote:It linked to another interesting site...etherman wrote:That's a fantastic find.jinxed wrote:London mapped by common surnames

Was at a talk about the Famine where i'm from a while back and apparently very few people died of starvation but rather because they were malnourished they were extremely vunerable to disease and this caused outbreaks of disease to spread like wildfire.The authorities habit of crowding the people into workhouses made the problem worse.Massey Ferguson wrote:Yep, the common figure quoted is a million dead, a million emigrated. That map doesn't distinguish.theo wrote:Well no it isn't as there was also a lot of emigaration during that time also. Now that was no doubt due to the famine but the drop in numbers is not solely down to people starving to death.camroc1 wrote:Because the figures are figures from two censuses, where they measure the population, not death from starvation.
It is de facto the same thing though.

It has EVERYTHING to do with rivers, at least in the Russian case.
Look at a map of Russia. All the development took place either across the spine or along the rivers . The rivers & weather dictated where the major urban areas across that spine were located. Hence where Russian orthodoxy took hold. The area coloured "heathens" is a lazy-arsed way to classify territories largely unpopulated, or populated by smallish numbers of indigenous shamanistic (amongst others) tribes.

I take your point and understand about the river settlements but my point is that that is not what is indicated here.Look at China it has stripes aswell indicating more than one religion in that territory and it has nothing to do with rivers.It is just coincidental that the stripes are angled the same way as many rivers flowing in to the Artic sea.Take a look at all the stripes on the map,they are all at the same angle.redderneck wrote:Eh, no.amadangomor wrote:The stripes are just the way they showed an area had more than one religion.Look at india it has a couple of "Muslim " stripes and is nothing to do with riversRiver settlements...

http://www.metafilter.com/127460/Perry- ... ric-eventsIn 1960 or so, Professor Perry C. Van Arsdale was helping his 7-year-old granddaughter researching the Santa Fe trail. He found his granddaughter's textbook to have some number of errors. He set off to create a map of pioneer history (prior to the 1900's), using his own knowledge and information from judges, sheriffs, and descendants of historical figures. This was his start in creating the Pioneer New Mexico map, which would contain 300 towns that no longer exist, old trails of all sorts (including the three historic Santa Fe trails and various camel routes), locations of minor squabbles and major battles, and because he couldn't fit everything on the maps, he also included extensive notes in the corner of the map.
