The surname Avila is from Spain - look at how many are in the Tree with that surname and born in Spain. 442,500. Far more than the countries mentioned on the home page.

    Tom Huber said: The surname "Learn about" is part of the fun and games intended to encourage younger people to look into their ancestry. It uses only a couple of sources for the information and as such, is incomplete.

    There are better sites on the internet for obtaining information about a given surname. Even using an internet search -- for instance, "Origin of the surname Huber" -- yields more complete results..
