I googled my screen name I keep the same one on different sites to make life easier and came up with my postings on rootschat including my personal profile which shows the names I am researching and where I live and my postings on a channel 4 website. I didn't find Genes but you could find a lot of personal information. The genes success board postings seem to show up as well. Anne |

I am afraid that it is likely that ANY forum that that you have made a post or reply to,has your name on it!! be it a screen name or your actual one..it is possible that it can be googled.. my family name has just come up with 455 hits...(not all mine, either) Bob |
