I have an unusual name and I thought that there would likely not be many Google Hits on my name that were not me. Wrong! There are numerous people with my name. There’s even a town in Canada with my Family Name! And I once saw a scene in an old B&W Movie where the Hotel 2 characters are having a conversation in front of has my Family Name on it! Try Googling your own name, you might be very surprised!
Yes, Lennie — and remember when there used to be a publication called the telephone book that would list your name, address, and phone number and you’d have to pay to be left out of it? :)

Who would have known it?
Do you think we could put a computer in our cars to do that?
No, probably it would take too much power for the car battery to run it, and computers are AC but cars are DC.
Hey! Maybe someone will come up with something small enough to hold in our hand that will do the same thing!…

The trick now seems to be finding a site that will actually give you that information without having to pay for it.
