Hah! Which genealogy site is it? A page on WD that compiles these (and
uses that don't use the API but use bulk data) would be lovely.

We are now experiencing a couple of cases where third

from Wikidata to create user interface of data from it without any use

who use Wikidata to present where parish having genealogy records can be
found on a map, using coordinates etc for these parisihes from
Wikidata. Another in an early phase is a water authority who will load
Wikidata with their data and present data from there.
Is this part of a trend, are there many cases like these?
Does statistics exist giving how many acesses goes to Wikidata from
3-parties? Are we missing these in our use statistic by focusing on
access to Wikipedia?
