Note: we can save surnames we didn't match to a report. This will tell Wikidata users what surname items should be created, which will advance the bibliographical efforts on Wikidata.

Thoughts on matching: use P1705, not label, as a protection against matching against wrong items because of transcription issues.
See e.g. Ivanov as a name of a Russian person vs. Swedish/German etc person.
