I do have one family member on that I can google but only because she is in the limelight for accomplishments of kind. This is public relations stuff I guess, since she didn't put it there herself.
Your name can also pop up if you've been mentioned in an obituary as family of the deceased, or if you've ever written a letter to the editor of a newspaper or if someone has created a geneology page, your name is probably on a list of a family tree that someone has made. Someone I don't even know made a tree of my family name that dates back to the 16th century in England and both my brother and I are on it and his kids. We don't even know this lady and have never communicated with her. Sometimes it takes lots of searching but it's likely you're out there somewhere in cyberspace. It's possible that you're not but most people are in some form or another.
