It's only for Great Britain.

Also there have to be at least 100 entries for that surname for it to be counted in the database. Not great if your surname is quite unique, like mine... Derix

Great it works for me, but the results are quite useless; though my surname appears to most popular in District of Colchester in England, The Hawkes Bay District of NZ, the state of Kentucky in the US and South Australia in oz.
