Surnames

"A surname is a name added to a given name and is part of a personal name. In many cases, a surname is a family name; the family-name meaning of "surname" first appeared in 1375. Many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In Western countries, it is also commonly known as a "last name," while in Hungary and in many countries of East Asia, the family name is placed before the individual's given name."

Histopolis has information on over 300,000 surnames including grave information for individuals with many of those surnames. You can browse the surnames or search for a specific surname.
