I know this is information after the fact, but if you start adding categories of specific locations to your profiles as you work them, this would provide you a starting point, and as others also start to do this, it will start to provide all with a resource for finding relations from the same area. I recently "figured" this out (it had been something I was avoiding) and here is what I learned. If you have say, a little "burg" or villiage within a township within a county, parrish or province, within a country, start with the burg...."[[Category:Burg]]...if it hasn't been created yet, it will show as a red link once you save and go back to the Profile view. Click on the red link, and it will take you to the new category page. Scroll down to the big text box and add the next category of the township or locality [[Category:Township or locality]] and so on until you hook into an existing category for say the province or state. Then when you select the category link on the profile, it will show all the other profiles in that area. This can also be used for professions, military service, etc.
