Background

This free-space page analyses the ADEY Family profiles on the WikiTree website that have been specially identified for some reason. It starts with profiles which have a specific Category relating to location (e.g. Newfoundland), or some other classification.

It is understood that there are a number of locations round the world where there is a significant excess of ADEY individuals, when compared with what would be expected from the surname frequency in the general population. However, to identify these locations requires an estimate of the ADEY surname frequency in the English speaking world, and an easy way to count the number of profiles in that location. For this analysis, we assume that creating a profile, and giving any particular profile a location category, is essentially a random process. We hope it is not biased for or against the surname ADEY. However, there may be slight biasing happening, because pre-1600 family names are more likely to be categorized by WikiTree projects.

Population Frequency

  • The WikiTree home page [1] maintains a daily (?) running count of the total profiles on the site: 32,497,207 (accessed 25 Nov 2022).
  • Each WikiTree SURNAME Genealogy page (e.g. ADEY Genealogy page at [htt://wikitree.com/genealogy/ADEY]) maintains a separate count for that surname [About 409 ADEYs], and and gives totals for other possible surnames and spellings [Related surnames: EDDY (5892) ODEA (1598) EDE (799) ATHEY (793) EADIE (668) ADDY (578) ADAY (531) EADY (444) ODDIE (345) UDY (350) EDIE (330) ODDY (309) ATYEO (286) ODY (272) ADIE (204)]. So it appears that EDDY is the most common spelling, and ODY is the least common. Ignoring ATHEY and ATYEO, as being too dissimilar, but the total 'related' spellings are 24,790 (~25k).
  • Worldwide Frequency Total 1:(32500/25) = 1:1,300
  • ADEY Surname Frequency 1:(32500000/400) = 1:81,250

Location Frequency

This depends on how individual an WikiTree Country project breaks down an area into different location categories.

Newfoundland

The Category:Dominion of Newfoundland was established in 1909 to replace the previous Category:Newfoundland Colony. Any 20th century profile, covered by the 1911, 1921, 1935 & 1945 censuses, could be part of the district sub-categories hierarchy:

  1. Category:Bay de Verde District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  2. Category:Bonavista Bay District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  3. Category:Burgeo and La Poile District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  4. Category:Burin District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  5. Category:Carbonear District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  6. Category:Ferryland District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  7. Category:Fogo District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  8. Category:Fortune Bay District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  9. Category:Harbour Grace District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  10. Category:Harbour Main District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  11. Category:Labrador District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  12. Category:Placentia and St. Mary's District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  13. Category:Port de Grave District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  14. Category:St. Barbe's District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  15. Category:St. George's Bay District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  16. Category:St. John's City, Dominion of Newfoundland
  17. Category:St. John's East District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  18. Category:St. John's West District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  19. Category:Trinity Bay District, Dominion of Newfoundland
  20. Category:Twillingate District, Dominion of Newfoundland

Location Profiles

Hant's Harbour, Newfoundland Colony

The Category:Hant's Harbour, Newfoundland Colony contains a list of ADEY names and summary details under the Person Profiles beginning with 'A'. The list that follows has been slightly reordered, so that the profiles with the same (or similar) first name are in birth date order (e.g. the middle name is ignored). However, no systematic attempt has been made to merge variant spellings of surname. Eventually, it is hoped to identify any ADEY (or related) profiles that should have this category, and add this category tag above their Biography section heading. In addition, ccategorizing profiles may help to identify those that do not use the standard location name, although so long as this category is correctly applied it may not matter.
