Hi Markus, Fun! Here's the same query with one additional caveat: it only counts people known to have been born since 1900.
http://tinyurl.com/jgzxvlq This removes anyone who is definitely dead (but doesn't have a birth date), but also cuts out anyone who is alive but where we don't know either a birth or death date. So it's a more conservative estimate. (It's a pity WD can't say "dates unknown, but definitely alive"...) Orders are still much the same, but numbers return drop substantially - from 21k to 15k for Finland, but only 27k to 25k for Sweden. It seems Finland has more people, but Sweden has better-documented ones :-) A.
