The fact that "USA" appears in the surname URLs is irrelevant --
it's a historical artifact that dates back to when Linkpendium
was a much, much, much smaller directory.
We've been planning to change the surname URLs, but it's going
to make a mess out of our search engine listings. ):
Truth be known, the surnames are not (yet) fully world-wide.
They are heavily biased toward family names originating in
Europe. - B
