Interesting Maps

Another consideration on crime stats is the area classed as the city separate to its exurbs. A city might have a small footprint with most people who work there actually living outside the city boundary, so crime per head of population can be seem very high but if the attached exurbs are included that high crime stat might drop significantly.

Definitions of 'city' vary from place to place. For example, French uses the same word "ville" for both cities and towns.

Not as amazing as the lake views of the Mediterranean.

Shur, those Donegal Kids are all half mad!

Insert Donegal and how they like to stick together jokes here, I can get away with it as I'm from there.

That looks remarkably accurate for Italy/Greece for 3000 years ago

I love rare surnames. My great grandmother surname was 'Kemmitt' I don't know anyone with the name. It was only really found in Sligo or near by.

"There were 20 with this surname in Ireland in 1901. The surname is ranked 9964th in Ireland in the same year, MURPHY is ranked 1st since it is the most common Irish surname."

My grandmother is is Collery another Sligo name.

"There were 115 with this surname in Ireland in 1901. The surname is ranked 3611th in Ireland in the same year, MURPHY is ranked 1st since it is the most common Irish surname."

I traced my family tree back 6 to 7 generations going back to the late 1700s early 1800s. They all lived in country Sligo but if I use the maps on Barry Griffins website I've a good geography spread throughout Ireland so there must have been a massive upheaval at some stage.

It's dinner obviously!
