Comment This looks interesting, but all three examples return "Name not found." for me? Moebeus (talk) 16:07, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Not all names have their origin in English (neither in French by the way, since there are more than 100M names in the database). But for each name, you have the heat map and the places where the name is most found for the period. Ayack (talk) 16:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Comment I think it could be interesting to add the equivalent of search formatter URL (P4354) to family name (Q101352), or maybe search formatter URL (P4354) directly to Geneanet (Q3100478) with a suitable qualifier. --- Jura 16:40, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Interesting, but extension to all languages/areas of geneanet.org e.g. de, gw, nl, etc. With names like Schmidt one gets almost 2 million results in the former. What http://gw.geneanet.org is all about I do not know. Klaas `Z4␟` V: 08:35, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
