I don't get it. In the links, are only some counties, and they are maybe counted in strange manner. For example, for Sokołów County he counted more Rethels per se, than are in whole Poland, and didn't count any sub-Rethels. And wh are 2/3 of all "foreign" names in that county, and we are not present in others, what is also bizzare.
Where did he wrote it?Percentage of foreign surnames among Poles is:
German surnames - ca. 5%
Ukrainian surnames - ca. 4.5%
Belarusiian surnames - ca. 1%
Czech surnames - ca. 0.5%
Russian surnames - ca. 0.04%
Slovak surnames - ca. 0.03%
Sorbian surnames - ca. 0.008%
One thing is percentage of surnames, and other people who bear them.If you think that German surnames are more common (ca. 10-20% ???) then maybe you should contact him and tell him.
For example, among 100 people could be 90 people with polish surname with one representative each, and 10 people with two german surnames.
Then german surnames will be 2% but people with german surnames, potential Germans, 10%. So it depends what did he counted.
For that must be counted every single man.I would like to see some "final" and objective estimate.
It is hard, hundrets of thousands names.
