Websites to Show Current Surname Distribution

These websites were briefly introduced at our last branch meeting. They show surname distribution based on registered landline telephones. Some of the information I found suggested possible new places to research some of my ancestors.

The first link came from a recent edition of Kindred Spirits, most interesting results.
