It shows that the name 'Crank' originates in the north-west of England, although Cranks are now more concentrated in the U.S. state of Arkansas.
 

hmmmmm.......

The site's creators believe it will be invaluable for those tracing their family tree and for social historians charting the patterns of migration.

Same here. Looks like they’re going to have to add more servers.

Interesting post. That reminds me of something I’ve been wondering about. The names “Washington” and “Lincoln”.

These days it seems that most people with the name Washington are black Americans. Are there any white Washingtons left in the country? Just wondering if they may have been related biologically to George Washington in some distant way. I dont think he had children.

Lincoln is another name that you don’t see these days

Well my last name is mostly located FPM in Canada and the USA, third being Germany although the last name according to that site is of English origin. Also I think they need to work on similar names, because frankly those they listed just aren’t that similar at all except for they all start with H.

I saw one grifter (white) who was capitalizing on his Washington surname when I was working at the Federal District Court in upstate NY. I can't remember all the details of the case though.
