''[[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[United States]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[United States Emigration and Immigration|Emigration and Immigration]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[ | ''[[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[United States]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[United States Emigration and Immigration|Emigration and Immigration]] [[Image:Gotoarrow.png]] [[Surname Distribution Maps|Surname Distribution Maps]]'' <br><br>[[Image:{{surnamemap}}]] Sometimes it is possible to guess where a surname originated through [[Surname Distribution Maps|surname distribution maps]]. These maps graphically display locations where surnames occurred at different periods in time. This strategy provides genealogists with a starting point for research in the birth country, when that information cannot be discovered through sources recorded in the new country of settlement. It works particularly well for less-common surnames and among families that have stayed in the same European locations for centuries. | ||
