I came across this interesting website that maps your surname<\/a>, showing where your extended family comes from. It\u2019s fascinating that most people don\u2019t seem to move very far from their place of birth, and as a result, there are strong concentrations of surnames in particular countries, regions, and even cities.<\/p>\n

So, for Warnock, I found the following countries most strongly represented. The figures represent the number of Warnocks per million of population.<\/p>\n

NEW ZEALAND \u2014 60.08
IRELAND \u2014 50.74
AUSTRALIA \u2014 50.35
GREAT BRITAIN \u2014 42.27
CANADA \u2014 37.36
UNITED STATES \u2014 23.71
If you hone into regions, then the figures per million of the top regions climb significantly:<\/p>\n

NORTH WEST, IRELAND \u2014 472.34
SOUTHLAND REGION, NEW ZEALAND \u2014 304.29
OTAGO REGION, NEW ZEALAND \u2014 181.05
WESTERN AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA \u2014 169.38
SCOTLAND, GREAT BRITAIN \u2014 149.72
NORTH EAST, IRELAND \u2014 145.26
MANAWATU-WANGANUI REGION, NEW ZEALAND \u2014 133.7
SOUTH AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA \u2014 107.78
GEORGIA, UNITED STATES \u2014 87.39
OREGON, UNITED STATES \u2014 83.68
The site also lists the top cities for Warnocks without the population rates:<\/p>\n

CAROL STREAM, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES
ANTIOCH, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES
CARLISLE, NORTH, GREAT BRITAIN
IPSWICH, EAST ANGLIA, GREAT BRITAIN
FERNDALE , WALES , GREAT BRITAIN
ANTRIM, NORTHERN IRELAND, GREAT BRITAIN
FALKIRK, SCOTLAND, GREAT BRITAIN
FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES
CARRICKFERGUS, NORTHERN IRELAND, GREAT BRITAIN
It\u2019s a fascinating way to spend a few minutes learning more about your tribe.<\/p>\n
