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

I do have a question though.....

Since this thread... how many of you have googled yourself. *slowly raises my own hand*

Sort of an off-topic post about genealogy (sp?) so I made a new post.

I have before this thread. My last name is kind of a mystery because when my granddad came through Ellis Island with his cousin, they were processed by two different clerks and came out with two slightly different last names! As I understand it, my granddad said his name, and the clerk at Ellis Island pretty much wrote down what he heard as best he could. (The difference is one vowel.) Some successful people with the same last name as mine include a marathon runner, a chemist and an attorney. I don't know how to research this any further because my granddad was an orphan when he came over with my cousin, so they are kind of a dead end. My mother's family has done some research and they have some additional information and dates.

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.
