Have you searched yourself on the Internet? (from a thread in General)

[Suki Wingy]

yes. My uncle and dad have been thoroughly researching our geneaology for a while now. We've visited county records and driven out to grave sites. I've googled my name before just out of curiosity. Usually my PT account comes up. I get nothing with my whole name though, just stuff about Evangeline Lily. I found this on the second page though! I wrote that a while ago
Using my full first name without even my middle namename, "No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found"

When I Google my name, I find sites for a porn model and an obscure country singer. Neither of which is me.

Don't lie, we know you're a porn model j/k

I have, and found a family tree basically. What's odd is that it claims my father has a twin, which he doesn't. hmmmm.....

I've searched before and nothing has ever come up for me. However, I search for my dogs and I get numerous results.

I did a search and found a photgrapher who's first and maiden names are the exact same as mind and her married name is one letter differnent than my married name.

I even e-mailed her to share what I found. She wrote back saying that she wanted to photograph all the Deborah _________ of the world.

I am not out there, my daughter is out there numerous times for her sport though.

cassies mom, the best way to figure out your family tree would have been to ask your grandfather. And his cousin.

Lots of names were altered during the trip through Ellis Island. And the family bible was the only record in many countries which did not maintain registries. (England being a major exception, with Somerset House which recorded births and deaths for eons!)

I interviewed my grandfather when it was almost too late; as it is best to be able to ask TWO people so they can agree, correct each other. I was able to verify most of what he told me, with a distant relative in the "home land," who was also aged. I now have 6 generations!

I have googled myself, just to make certain it is all accurate. And to get corrections made, where needed. sigh. It never used to be this complicated before the internet!
