Using my first, middle and last name, I found some nasty things. After reading the intro to them, I didn't care to go any futher. Using my first and last name only. I found out that I am a popular guy. I have books, I,m a Doctor and many other great things. Now if I can find a way to cash in on those other imposters. I would be rich and famous.

Apparently I'm a judge, a priest, and I married a girl named Esther back in 1780.

Apparently I came to America in 1760 something and again in 1780s. I got a bunch of hits that were in the 1800s as well.

I did a search with my first, middle, and last name all together and it turns out there is one other person out there with my exact name and my last name is not common. I wonder if I'm related to him?

I found out I was an editor or an executive producer to some 1950's and 60's shows. I'm also a tatoo artist, in two different states. I'm a gynecologist , I write books, I'm a CPA, and I was a priest shortly after WWI. There were more pages, but that's as far as I dove in.

my last name is uncommon, only people with it are those in my family. There are two others with my same exact name (i dunno about their middle), and both are second cousins or something like that. One of em just got drafted to a major league baseball team, although it was like round 40. i'm not to sure of the origins of my last name, always hear different stories, but the first came over sometime in the late 1600's and setup shop in SE PA

I have a relatively obscure last name, so whenever I search it, my father who usually the only one to come up - he's a professional Civil War historian and pops up once in awhile in books and such.

Sometimes I show up on mountain bike race-results sites. If I do a strict search for my first+last name, that's all that will show up.

My father's family is from South Carolina, so sometimes our last name pops up there.

I did a Google search and found 1,550 listings for my first and last name. On page 1 there were 4 from me!!!

At the bank I use I guess there are 3-4 other poeple with the same first middle and last name.

BTW, the first hit was mine!!!
