It did okay with some of my New England surnames, but of my four French Canadian grandparents, it only had info for one - Couture. The others - Alary, Pouliot, Laverdiere, and my grandmother's mother's line - Thornton, it came up with zeros.
The info it brought up on the English names (excluding Thornton) was in line with what we had believed - Stowe, Langworthy, Darling, etc.). I was surprised it hadn't heard of Thornton.
A nice tool, especially for those just beginning their interest in family history.
