How the collections work
A collection is a curated group, not a query: a name is in it because someone decided the description fits. Every number shown beside a name is an official birth registration rank, and a group smaller than 7 names gets no page of its own rather than a page with nothing on it.
To follow one name across every year and place instead, open its own page from the full name index.
