As the title states, post the list of surnames of people from your grandparents' places of birth.
For privacy reasons, you don't need to write your ancestral surnames or name the place of the village/town. The name of the district (county in Romania) or region should do.
For those in R. Moldova, you can find this info here.
Type the name of the locality on the right, click it and scroll down to the list of surnames.
On that site, the distribution of ethnicities in that place is also shown and for some of them they even have the historic description from Zamfir Arbore (Dictionarul Geografic al Basarabiei an. 1904).
I don't know a similar database for Romania, but if someone does then please share it and I will add it here.
