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

I googled myself once (maybe from the other thread?) and found I had a publication I didn't know about. At the company I worked at before, iI was working on a research project and was listed as a coauthor on 2 scientific articles. After I left, i found they published again, and still included me as an author.

That's pretty cool! Did you send them an address to send the royalty checks to, Amy?

I googled me and found several others wih the same 1st & last name, which is odd because people always say what an unusual last name I have! I guess it's not so unusual among our French-Canadian neighbors. However, none the results are the "real" me. My husband did his & found numerous references to his brother, who does medical research.

I find a lot of breed rescue related sites and articles, a reference to a county planning and zoning meeting I attended .... and a few hits for someone with the same name as me, who is obviously a much better soccer player than I!

Never even thought of that, I usually google only writers, musicians etc. But I think I'll give this a try.

I've googled myself before...after reading this thread I did it again. It's amazing- when I typed in my name with parentheses 5 years ago, only 3 pages of results came up...now there are 15!

None of them are me, though- although someone with my name had a tragedy so maybe that's why there are so many results now.

On another note of sharing names, though, I did have an incident with another Jill M. About a year ago, a letter arrived at my mom's house for me from Indiana, so curious, I dropped by to pick it up and it was from some woman accusing me of stealing a bunch of her fabric from her home craft business! I have never even been to that particular town in Indiana...it was really a shock. The most shocking thing, though, was that it had the names of my mom, my brother, and a neighbor in the letter, and it said those people would be involved I didn't turn myself in!

I was bewildered so I took the letter to the police, and they contacted the woman for me...I guess there was another Jill M. who stole from her, and then left town, so she had hired private investigators to track her down- and they found me instead. It was really strange, and it actually upset me a lot, I didn't like the idea of someone spying on me when I didn't do anything wrong!

A coach, right? If I recall your last name, I think I know you're talking about.
