I can't find anythign under my maiden name.... but I haven't really searched that hard since there are like 140,000 results that come up LOL I don't want to look through all of them hahaha.

But under my married name i got one hit. And it was photos I did for a friends hockey game lol.

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!

I have searched before, but my name is very common, so I can never find anything on myself... not that there would be anything, anyway!

Whenever I search for Nova or Buck's registered names, threads come up from Pet Talk! Usually because they are in my signature.

My dad is one of four children. The "grandkids" are now in our 40s and 50s and we started recording as much information as we have between all of us. I don't know how much more information we can retrieve about my paternal grandparents, which is why we're trying to put down as much as we can for their great grandchildren. On my mom's side she has a cousin who researched and found a ship's manifest with my great grandfather's name on it. My mom's cousin had a copy made of it for my mom. It's hard to read because the original is so old, but the handwriting is beautiful. It tells each of the passengers, their ages and where in Europe they started out. So, that's what I know about my family. We're Czech, Polish and we just found out about 3 years ago that my paternal granddad was probably Ukrainian. When I was little I wanted to be Irish or German or Italian, like every other kid at school. (Being Polish I tell everyone I'm made out of dumplings and I bleed brown gravy!)
