[QA] Run 1 query on multiple db's

Hello, could someone help me on this one.
Situation:
Multiple databases with same tables etc. (12 monthly archiving data db's).
In Query Analyzer, can I run 1 query same table on all my 12 db's which
would output 1 result?
Let say:
USE dbjanuari
select firstname from employees
where firstname = 'tom'
but instead dbjanuari, also dbfebruari, dbmarch etc.
Sorry for this 'noobly' question.

SELECT firstname from dbjanuari.dbo.employees where firstname = 'tom'
UNION ALL
SELECT firstname from dbfebruari.dbo.employees where firstname = 'tom'
UNION ALL
SELECT firstname from dbmarch.dbo.employees where firstname = 'tom'
