The map of Spain where you can search and check where there are more people with your surname

There are many people who do not know where their last name comes from or where their origins are. Nothing like searching where there are people with the same last name as you to start a genealogical search. Today we give you a very useful tool.

“In my town there is no one with the last name like me, it must be that my family is not from here.” We have heard this phrase hundreds of times in our environment. There’s always someone with a weird last name who wonders about it. source of his family.

There are also those who come from emigrant families and the family history has already been forgotten, so they do not know where their roots come from. In my case, for example, I had always heard that my family came from the north despite being from the south. This map has revealed many things to me.

Whether you’re a Garcia a Gómez or as if your last name is Schwarzenegger, the map shows you where they are and the population density that is surnamed like this in the specific area that marks you. Of course, it is quite limited when it comes to giving exact location or exact number.

But we have come here out of curiosity, not to do a genealogical study that we can show before a judge to prove our origin. We are all from a place called the world and this is just hanging out. Because the world of maps is really curious.

The map that shows you where your relatives are

In my case, which is Carvajal Sarabia, I have been able to discover that neither of the two surnames are common in Spain, although Carvajal is found in more places. The search tells me that both are common in Madrid, Murcia, Barcelona and a little in the north of Spain.

This is curious because the two, being unusual surnames, are found in the same places. And although Madrid and Barcelona understand each other, because they are cities with a high population density and statistically it is normal for there to be more surnames, the fact that Murcia comes out confirms that my origins coincide with my place of birth.

Then we have more classic searches such as the surname Gómez or Hernández, where we can see that in Spain everyone has a friend with that last name. And if he doesn’t have it, it’s because he’s the Gómez/Hernández.

If you are curious, you just have to click on the map and put your last name. Surely you will be surprised to discover in which areas of Spain you have possible relatives. This is the curiosity of the day.
