|{{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. | |{{surnamemap}} Sometimes it is possible to guess where a surname originated through [[Surname_Distribution_Maps|surname distribution maps]].
