In 1841 the Grand Duchy of Tuscany counted its inhabitants house by house: over 1.3 million people, household by household, with ages, occupations and family relationships. Over the years we have indexed the entire census, and we now share it in a new form.

Type a surname into the map to see which areas of Tuscany it lived in, how many households bore it and which similar spellings appear in the records. It is often the first clue to where your research should begin.

Behind every hexagon are real names, houses and parishes.
