Argentina was one of the main countries in south america were italians emigrated, the argentinian accent is very similar to the italian accent.

I was aware there were a lot of Italians in Argentina, I was more surprised that Italy was not even listed! There have to be a few DelTurco's there.

My full name is Kwesi Andoh. It's pretty obviously African so i kinda expected at least one African nation to show up in the stats... kinda funny. It's homophonic equivalent, Ando, is pretty darn popular in Japan though.

since you are from germany, how would you pronounce my last name(I'm just making sure my family isn't like murdering the true way to say it).

Hm, that's difficult to explain but I'd really like to do it. Funny thing that even German text reading programms can't read it correctly. They add a vocal that should be in there.
But that won't hold me back. As soon as I found a way to do a sound recording in an acceptable quality here, I'll contact you again.

Find another "Kronrod" that is not related to me, So far i can't, anyone we find with that last name or if they find us, we find a close link between us in past 100 years

I surrender! Haven't found anyone in Europe bearing that name via various phonebooks...

My full name is Kwesi Andoh. It's pretty obviously African so i kinda expected at least one African nation to show up in the stats... kinda funny.

As far as I'm able to judge that site, they are only using data of people living in western and central Europe, North America, India, Japan, Australia, New-Zealand and Argentina (possibly another South Amercian State, too). Of course it would have been better to have really the whole world or at least the African continent, whole South America and China as well as Russia in those statistics additionally.
